Insurance on he packages won't help much as I was told directly by a Canada post employee that although you can add insurance to your package good luck getting the value back if there is an issue. They recommended me to use one of the big guys if insurance was actually important. LOL. Loved the honestly. Cost a bit more but I felt safer. Over they last number of years in the hundred of parcels I have received I have only had issue with Canada post. Be it missing items, delays in shipping while in Canada posts hands. Then they have the gull to raise prices for continued poor service gotta love government union employees that you can't trust anymore and well you know are out of touch with reality in todays job world.
