Registered is the most expensive way to ship, but I like the required signature at each step of the way. I once had a ham radio I bought lost by UPS. I was processing insurance when I got a call from Lands End. The item was double boxed and the outside label disappeared when the outer box was destroyed. The item was returned to Lands End in the inner box. LE in turn contacted the original recipient as a Lands End customer. Fortunately he hadn't removed the old shipping label. The seller gave my name, phone number and address, and Lands End shipped it to me. Got lucky on that one. Put your name and address on each box even when double boxing. Gil
