This thread does serve a purpose for me, however. I will go on record here and state that I will not enter any transaction with this or any seller who takes the position that I as buyer bear the risk of loss on a package sent by certified mail, unless:
1) I expressly and affirmatively agree to accept that risk; and
2) the package is properly addressed and packaged.
Insurance just isn't that much for seller to factor into his price, and combined with signature confirmation makes certified mail unnecessary. For higher dollar items, I use registered mail.
