Hi,
If I follow, it covers that you mailed the package, not that it was
received.
I would think that most people would claim that they didn't receive a
package, not that you didn't mail it.
If you really want protection with the USPS, I would think you want to send
it with a return receipt required to be signed.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Certificate of Mailing
Hi All,
It's disheartening to read the post about the painting lost in the mails.
Here's a little tip I've utilized for many years to give me a little
piece of mind, a little extra piece of mind, whenever I mail something
with the USPS that I want to be able to document that was mailed. It's
called a "certificate of mailing".
How it works is this: when an item is entrusted to the USPS I pay a
little extra something, less than $2.00, for a a piece of paper known as
a USPS "certificate of mailing"
It offers proof that I mailed something to so and so.
The person to whom a letter, padded parcel envelope, or whatever, is
mailed to does not know that I have this "proof" but if something is
"lost" in the mail the "Certificate of Mailing" covers my tush.
If anyone were ever to claim that something was maybe not mailed I have
certifiable USPS proof that it was.
Fortunately, nothing of mine has ever been lost in the mail.
Yesterday, for example, I sent off a possible meteorite to an expert for
an opinion of what may be a small slightly magnetic meteorite with a USPS
"Certificate of Mailing". I anticipate no problem with the specimen
reaching it's intended final destination. But if there is a problem,
well, need I say more?
This little precaution may also help keep some people honest.
Best wishes to all.
David Gunning
