Well I can tell you that I had my husband send off a quilt to my Aunt. When he got home from work that day I asked him for the tracking #. He didn't have one as he just sent it without insurance, with no tracking or anything. This was an applique, lots of time and money into it. I held my breath until it got there, no problems, thank goodness. He sent it USPS. That was the last time I had him do that for me.
