I prefer USPS and always require insurance as a seller and request insurance as a buyer.
When I bought/won my first Magneto (X-men Sentinel Series) it arrived in an apparently undamaged box. I took the box home and, upon opening it discovered that Magneto had somehow managed to break both feet off at the ankles. Since it was insured, I took it (and all the packing materials) back to the PO and filed an insurance claim. Within a very reasonable amount of time I received a refund in full. No hassle, no problem.
The PO clerk told me that they take items like this and auction them off for what they can get...so those of you looking for damaged statues for sculpting/repairing/painting practice can look into these PO auctions.
When I took a recently sold statue to the PO to ship, the clerk processing my request gave me everything I requested...postage, delivery confirmation and insurance...she stamped "FRAGILE" all over the outside of the box and then
tossed the box into an empty cart (which was a drop of about 4 feet). When she turned back, I said "Sure glad I got insurance on that." She turned beet red and apologized profusely...go figure
