You know, I have found that Priority does work in most cases; there will always
be isolated instances of system breakdown (as one can expect from any
centralized government service).
As for insurance, isn't it more a question of whether the guy who's buying stuff
from you wants it or not? Given the (in my experience) low risk factor, I
often skip the insurance option, as I'm sure many other people do. Certainly,
if you're ordering over $40-50 it becomes worthwhile, but otherwise bloated
shipping costs to have a way of intimidating people.
