If you are not interested in some irreplaceable item going away and only having the insurance money (maybe) for compensation, sent it REGISTERED mail. It costs the priority mail rate plus the registry fee which is about $10.00 and that includes a bunch of insurance. Is it worth $10.00 is the question.
