No matter what I send it all goes Priority Mail with all the bells and whistles that come with it. I make copies of the address and secure any and all seals with shipping/mailing tape. I tape the address on the outside and seal the flap of a PM envelope. Also before packing, take multiple photos of the quilt or product you send. My cousin sent a quilt through the mail and did everything right. One last thing she did was just do a 6" running stitch along the binding. Same color as the binding but with large knots on both ends. Her recipients neighbor tried to steal the package and signed her name to it. The mailman ( a sub) said it was signed for and described the gal. She tried to pass it off as hers in a quilt show. The woman was charged for theft of mail. The detail was in that simple 6" running stitch with the knots on each end.
