I always use Delivery Confirmation or Insurance, even if it is at my own cost.

That does bring up one of my pet peeves.  So many people send things
requiring a signature on delivery without letting me know (I don't know
if
Delivery Confirmation falls into this category or not).

Anyhow, they would tell me that a signature was required I would have
the package
shipped to my work address instead of my home address so that somebody
would
actually be there to receive the package.  There have been times when I
wasn't
home for delivery and couldn't make it to the post office because my car
was in
the shop (our distribution center is way out in the boondocks, so
there's no chance
of taking a bus, walking, or cycling).

So...  If you're going to require a signature, let me know!  Otherwise
your package
might just come back to you undeliverable.

(...) I can't explain the governments logic because I find a lot of what it does to be illogical. But let's say you pay your credit card by mail and the CC company never receives it or cashes the check, you still get charged a late fee, right? They (...)
