I've always thought the insurance label read "Take me".

You would have to open a lot of nondescript small flat rate boxes to hit the jackpot. Better odds in Vegas.

Not to mention the difficulty in collecting a USPS claim.

I would add that for the really valuable parcels, it's Registered Mail Period
