Norbert, Bernhard, Matt, and list

A US registered package must be signed for by each and every postal
worker who handles it. Should it disappear, the powers that be go
straight to the last person who signed for it.
Registered mail is for valuables. Up to the individual to decide if
$200 is valuable, or if it need be a lot higher in value to justify
registered mail. All registered packages are handled seperately from
all other classes of mail. You can settle for less expensive insured
mail, but such packages are routed with all other parcels. Registered
items are kept in locked cages and conveyed to branch offices apart from
the flood of mail and packages that comprise the bulk of mail volume.
Getting it signed for every step of the way is as close to TLC as the
post office gets, so if it's valuable to you as a buyer or seller, send
it registered.

Best wishes,
