Two boxes make it, and two don't?

According to the USPS site, insurance only covers cash up to $15 unless you send your item as registered mail which covers cash up to $25,000 - and checks are not considered cash & cannot be insured.


"Limit on money (cash) insurable through the mail

Money (currency / cash) that is sent through the mail can be insured up to its value, within the stated limits:

Except for Registered Mail, the maximum indemnity for negotiable items (defined as instruments that can be convereted to cash without resort to forgery), currency, or bullion, is $15.00
For Registered Mail™ items, including money, the maximum insured value is $25,000
An item worth more than this must still be declared at full value, but the maximum insurable limit is $25,000.
When a claim is filed, money is replaced at the insured value:

After evidence of value is shown (if the actual value was less than the insured amount, then only the actual value is paid)
Important: If you are sending a significant amount of cash, you need to verify with your local office what is considered valid evidence of value before mailing the item. You should also verify that it is packaged securely enough to protect a high value item from being harmed during regular mail processing.
After the claim process is completed
Important: Checks are not considered cash, and cannot be insured other than for document reconstruction expense."

My insurance reference was for the other boxes, not reference to the cash.

i used to work for UPS... to answer your orginal question about how come they sometimes dont arrive on the same day...

cuz the packages refuse hold hands while in transit.. the entire system is automated. and sometimes things get separated.

i heard a coworker tell a customer this once and i nearly fell out, but it makes sense.

I can understand that but should they arrive weeks apart? Of course, I've never had any issues with UPS but it seems that some have.

i had it happen to me too. my husband sent several from dubai.. the most expensive one arrived 3 weeks later. we were in shock.
he had contacted the post office and they started to look for the package..

its possible that one of the packages just simply got put to the side by an employee for whatever reason. then forgotten about.
they are human..
there really is no way to tell.
