Insuring mail?

[Mclovin]

I don't send much stuff through the mail so this is probably a dumb question. But I have to mail someone two sets of football season tickets worth about $1500. What's the best way to insure this to avoid the risk of it getting lost in the mail?

Oh and this is bodybuilding related bc football players lift weights.

Insure it at the post office.  Only a few bucks extra as I recall

Exactly. Anyone that has done any business through the mail will tell you this.

Sweet. Thanks.

Put the zip code at the very bottom of the address on a line by itself with the numeral font 3 times bigger than the rest of the address.  You should do this with all US Mail.

Four options -

1) Envelope with Certified Mail tag and Insurance tag. The Certified Mail tag will make sure someone it is addressed to will have to sign for it.

2) Registered Mail with Insurance -  You'll have to seal everything up in front of the mail person, but your mail is kept locked up and has to be signed for every time it moves from point to point.

3) Express Mail Flat Rate with Insurance, it will be delivered in one day and will have to be signed for.

4) Priority Mail with Insurance - 1 -3 days in transit, insurance value will cause them to make it signature required.

Options 2 or 3 are the most secure, but may cost $30 - 40 to mail.

The insurance cost is about a buck per $100 of value.

Except when weight is a factor... that will increase the cost.   I've shipped $5-10K of silver/gold through USPS.  I always sweat while it's in route, but it's always reached it's final destination without any issues.
