I don't like using FedEx or Ups, as they both leave the pkges outside the door, seldom ever knock or ring the door bell. Even now that I'm retired and home most of the day, I never know when they bring something unless I should hear their truck. I always prefer to send USPS and priority or required signature. I NEVER let them know what is inside, only that there is nothing perishable. if I'm sending clothes or fabric of any kind I usually put some little non breakable thing inside just to rattle, and let them know that there is nothing breakable, but that there may be a rattle. I've only sent one quilt, and thank goodness it arrived. I am finishing hand sewing the binding on a king size quilt now, and it will be going to DD as a gift from her to a friend,- she only lives 100 miles away, but will wait and take it - or send it with someone who is going to where she lives-a college town and lots here commute to school - too much time has been spent on it to worry if it will get there and she ordered all of the fabric online last spring. I also put the addressee's and sender's address inside pinned to garment or fabric I mail and TAPE well plus insure for over the amount of contents it seems.
