I am shipping a high dollar item to Canada and was trying to remember the best way to send and be able to track the package. Do I send it Express or registered through the USPS or should I send it Fed Ex? Thanks!

Regardless of the declared value of a registered item, the maximum amount of indemnity payable for loss, damage, or missing contents is $47.33.
<< <i>I have lost 3 packages to Canada within the past year. Two of them were from a consignment for a person here on the forums(which by the way cost me most of the money I made on the consignment). Needless to say, I do not trust Canada as far as shipping is concerned, and I was worried about China! In any case, how should I ship this package? Should I just cancel the auction and realist the item? I am at a loss. -Dan >>
Canada is extremely safe.
I've been purchasing a few coins from US dealers for over 10 years now and not once have I had any problems.
In fact, I feel the best way to ship is your standard (uninsured) first class mailing (I think postage is about $1.35 to Canada).
I even tell the seller that I will take the financial risk.
