You are plain wrong here:

"Big Parcels are automatically insured up to a value of 1000,-DM / US$ 500.
You´ll also get a receipt at the post office, that
confirms the shipping of the parcel with address, size, value and date."

In Germany parcels to the U.S. and Canada are NOT automatically insured! When
you will study your yellow shipping fee  booklet, you
will discover a short note that says: "Insurance differs from country to
country and may not be included. For details ask the staff
at your next post office". Well, go ahead and do ask - they will tell you that
no parcel to the U.S. and Canada is automatically
insured! You have to file an additional insurance ($4.50). Insurance to small
parcels is not possible at all.

I second that (the additional postage depends on the actual insurance amount),
plus, in order to send these insured parcels (Wertpaket) you have to seal them
using a proprietary seal. Such as the ring of Louis XIV., I suppose...
