Yesterday I received a card which had taken three weeks to get to me from Canada. I am not sure what route it actually took, but the route did not include a postmark nor stamp cancellation. It was not insured. It cost me $48 for the card.

Although I was quite concerned about this shipment, my concern was directed toward the realization that I had been searching for this $48. card for two years. And I would hate to begin that again.

I didn't insure it because I have decided to risk the financial loss for all cards which sell below $100. This choice has already paid off, and if I lose a card now, I've saved enuff in insurance fees to compensate for the financial aspect of a postal error.

What is your policy on postal insurance?
