Best Way to Ship & Insure Small, High Value items?

This is not a post about how best to pack & ship big, heavy amps & speakers & such (lot of great posts on A'gon on that subject). Rather, my question is which shipper is most reliable, & likely to pay an insurance claim, on a high value item, say.......$2,000 to $5,000 (or more). i.e.; how best to ship a relatively small but valuable item that can easily be shipped by air, & the weight & shipping cost is not an issue, & you're not as much worried about shipping damage as it possibly getting lost? I'm guessing, insured USPS priority or express mail? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

i would go with ups as they always pay off,ups seems to pay me faster where as the post office with their lagging senority driven employee's took 6 months to pay off.

not to mention that the uspo's traking system is abysmal.

i wouldnt ship a bunch of carrots with fedex,ever.

this guy is talkin about "what if an item gets lost".

if you are unfortunate enough to get an item lost with the post office your really in for it!ive been there.

when your item dosent arrive & you call them for an update here is their response(its in the system)& when you call back weeks later to check the response is the same.

ive had nothing but bad luck with the postal system in my state,they sure dont get employees who go on killing sprees because they hire the cream of the crop.

if your stuff gets lost be prepared for THE BIGGEST NIGHTMARE OF YOUR LIFE!
