When I send lace abroad for Exhibitions I always use an International Courier company which is very expensive (or was) compared to Royal Mail but does guarantee that my lace arrives the next day, if not, the day after. I used to Fax the destination address to advise them that my lace had left UK that day and should be with them the following day and would they please notify me upon receipt. Nowadays of course, we can email to this effect. There is then the question of insurance! I would insure my little Point de Gaze 'Parasol for Iris' for a considerable sum of money, taking into account that it took me six years to make, but even that sum of money would not compensate me for it's loss, should it go astray as I would NEVER make another! How would this affect the valuation that one might put on a piece of lace sent by Royal Mail I wonder?
