Rick -

If you're not too burned out to take this question-

I have had some trouble insuring packages that I wish to mail. After I ask for insurance, I have had the clerks ask me what I am shipping because, according to them, there are certain things the Post Office won't pay for even if they are lost or stolen in spite of insurance. They say that I can get insurance but it would be a waist of money unless I ship it registered.

As a side note, one thing that I'd have to mention - a concern I have is telling anybody what I am shipping for obvious reasons, and I know that the postal employees aren't supposed to ask, for obvious reasons, but I have been dealing with them long enough at this location that I think they are just looking out for my best interest when they ask. At least I haven't had a problem yet. Anyway, do you know if certain collectibles are not actually covered, even if you do buy insurance? Registered mail is always an option but its slow and costly.
