I'd caution against writing "highly insured" on the box, at least if you're sending it through the Post Office. In the past few months I've had envelopes pilfered (slit open to get to the goods inside) and then placed into one of the plastic Post Office envelopes apologizing for the treatment my envelope received. There was no way the damage was done by machine -- it was a human being slitting open multiple cross layers of tape. So I don't think I'd want to warn mail handlers these days that something valuable was in the package, especially if they knew the receiver wouldn't be out any money if they took it because of the insurance. -- "Robert Wright" <esroberto at hotmail.com> wrote: <snip> Then I'd take a big Sharpee marker and write FRAGILE! on every side of the box, and on the large sides, I'd additionally write HIGHLY INSURED!, all in very large letters. (This last one seems to make a real difference -- if the handlers know their bosses are going to pay dearly for any damage, they seem to be more careful than if you only write FRAGILE.) Hope that's helpful!
