I have found that the safest and cheapest method to ship is to use the government postal services from Western and Northern Europe (NOT from the former East Bloc of Soviet Republics) and from the UK and from North America. Stealing from the postal services is a pretty serious crime in these countries. Stealing from a courier is just a game to most people, employees or contractors.

But, under declare the value... a high valuation is like a bulls eye target for thieves everywhere.

I hate UPS... they are highway robbers.
