thank you all!
I am going with ups store location. I will pack with the sender info inside the box.
I will get insurance.
The local post office is understaffed and overworked.
They gave a three hundred dollar item to a neighbor and I recovered it after going to the post office and was given a record of the delivery.
Another time they mishandled a two thousand dollar item and created a large amount of damage.
One time fed ex left my package on a neighbors doorstep.
Last week I went to my post office and the clerk said they do not send their customers text messages and that was a scam. I did not try to explain that you can sign up to receive text and e mail alerts.
But another employee took my tracking number and said it was out for delivery.
