Yeah whenever I ship items that are more than 
$20.00 I always insure it and get a tracking 
number.Also I give the person im dealing with the 
tracking number and the link to where they can go 
an check it's location that way you know you've 
sent it they can see you've sent it and they can 
track it and your covered.I do agree though mail 
is lousy right now I live in canada and shipping 
something can take 2 weeks- a month to get there 
and thats just to the states.
