I thought the way around that limitation was to use
"Global Express Mail"
It depends on the service. GXG is really done through Fedex, not an IPU
agency and it's pretty good.
Plain old GXM, however, will usually pay a claim when it can be shown that
the parcel didn't make it as far as customs. We've tried to get USPS to
make good on a GXM claim and I'd rather try out that "Do it yourself
at-home Root Canal" kit. You do get delivery confirmation with GXM when
everything works. However, if you think that USPS will pay off on an
insurance claim if delivery confirmation wasn't obtained, forget it. If
you think that you'll always get delivery confirmation, forget it.
