I am in the middle of a very sticky problem. Someone purchased a gift for their sister from us via Amazon. We sent off usps priority mail. Sis comes home from work to find her mail all over the street, with the box we sent the item in empty except for the packing slip. Someone drove through the neighborhood, opening mail boxes and scoping out Christmas Packages. Very tough issue as I sent package as agreed, usps delivered package, as agreed. But receiver is now without the gift as it was stolen. So who is responsible for replacing the gift? We did not insure the package. As it is, when all is said and done between shipping, amazon fees, etc, we clear about $5 on said item and insuring is another $2. Amazon said I am not responsible but in the spirit of giving I agreed to split the cost of sending a second package with the giver of the gift and I am sending with signature required.

SO Long story short - if you have packages coming consider paying a little extra for the shipping to insure they end up in the hands you intend.
