Yeah, I thought long and hard about that; it would have been under $40 without the ins. Then I thought, "how hard will I be kicking myself over 50 bucks if the durned thing doesn't show up?"
My daughter has shipped two items in the past year that never made it and didn't even get logged in to the system so they could be traced. Luckily she had receipts on both to prove she sent them; they either got stolen before they were logged in or somebody didn't do their job. One was an item she sold on ebay. Dillions (Kroger) was processing mail at that time; the store manager acknowledged they screwed up and paid her for it. The other was an item she was returning to a store through the post office; the retailer credited her account anyway even though they never got the item back.
