I need to ship something valuable (1000+) halfway across the USA. I have a number of choices, USPS, UPS, and FedEx.
What is the most secure and safe way to ensure it arrives?
I've shipped insured items before and they need a description. It seems to me marking the actual contents of my particular package would be a STEAL ME! sticker.
Also, it's Christmas time with Hanukah close behind, hugely increasing the volume of shipped parcels and increasing the likelihood of loss and theft.
With the USPS I can ship overnight or 2-day, insured, certified, or registered or some combination. With UPS and FedEx I can get something like those with signature required.
Is there any insurance maximum?
What are the ramifications of lying on the contents? Say you're shipping jewelry and you mark it as legal papers, or fragile glassware?
Thanks in advance.
