I use Shippo for most everything under $3K, and usually go with USPS Priority. However, that's mostly just for convenience, as the rates aren't much lower. For example, a small flat-rate box will ship for a little over $8. Of course higher values always go Registered.

If it is a one-shot deal for a sale, USPS registered. If you plan to sell and ship a lot of pricey items in multiple sales, probably best to get a dealer policy with a limit near the top price of any single item and follow the policy requirements for shipping (usually some form of signature service). If I was fortunate enough to sell a really extreme value item, I'd probably just get on a plane and hand-deliver the damned thing.
if you are moving your collection from one place to another, there is a whole secure logistics industry that moves high value items for their owners.

Has anyone actually made a claim on sportscards through the USPS? Rumors around that they do not cover paper and cardboard products even if you buy insurance. I buy the insurance but i've never had to submit a claim. This goes back to, how is everyone properly covering 5 digits cards? Fedex won't do that much (from that I understand). Someone clue me in as this is a confusing mess.

USPS registered mail will not be lost. The procedure followed requires a postal employee to handle it at each stage. The chances of losing a registered package is as close to zero as you can get.
As to a claim, you have to have good pictures of item and proof of value. I assume an Ebay sale would qualify. I have had one claim in 25 years and they paid my declared value. The package was shipped to an authenticator and they saw the package was wet and opened and showed it to carrier. Returned to me and claim was paid in full. But, only one instance. I have heard many horror stories of them not accepting the declared value. |

This thread was moved from the water cooler section as it has some good info in it...
I ship USPS overnight for almost anything a few k and up...but USPS registered is probably the safest. Shipping up to around 10k, USPS ovenight works for me... .
