It's likely just the DETROIT factor. You can't have nice things in The D.

Unless both of the UZIs went thru DeToilet. Then, you might be on to something.

This supports your theory about the insured amount brining attention to the package.
If you don't have a plan, you can't change it.

I had an original 5th model 1864 Burnside Carbine get misdelivered by Fedex on the way to me.  Such a stomach souring feeling.  

Glad your package made it to where it needed to go

I've never used Registered Mail.

How would the typical postal worker know the insured amount?  Is it on the package somewhere?
Nobody is coming. It's up to you.

I have no idea.  I imagine someone knows how to see what the total cost to ship was.  Sending a package registered is pretty cheap, the insurance is expensive.   If the thief sees a package that would normally cost $30 to mail but the total paid to ship is $150, they know it's something expensive.

I'm thinking "I insured a package. You lost the package. You losing my package cost me $25k, here's the canceled check for me paying my customer to make up for your incompetence. $25k is within the limits of the insurance I paid you for. Deliver my package, return my package to me and refund everything you charged me, or pay me $25k"

They gave me the value I insured it for and then told me to fuck off.  No one at USPS or ATF seemed to care about it all beyond that.

How many times did they refuse to do that, before they finally did that?

"Thoroughly" searching.  Uh huh.

I saw this thread bumped and hoped it had been found.  Dang.

I watched an ordinary package get shipped to my regional distribution center then over to Springfield Mass a good distance out of the way then back in to the normal USPS delivery stream adding about 5 days loiter time.

When I got my package it had a yellow bio hazard sticker and certified safe notice on it.   Damn, they’re just a pair of camo summer shorts and now I have to think twice if I want to put my unit in them now.   I have to wonder what the F they spilled on the packages.

The USPS is a broken wreck these days.

Me too but the minute it went nuclear / thief learned it's a registered MG it likely went in lake erie or off a bridge.

Really wish the person/s responsible get prison time.

In St Louis they had a big mercury spill in the middle of the package sorting system. People are ignorant about shipping stuff.
