What's the best way to send a ring through the mail?

Wrap in several layers of newspaper or tissue paper and put into small cardboard box that will not give the contents away. Then insure it and keep the receipt . That way, if it is lost, PO can track it.

padded envelope should be efficient enough

@gailcalled-do you have any idea how much it would cost to do all of this? I’m not sure of post office prices and I wanna know how much I’ll need

Minimum insurance is $50 value. Certainly rates have gone up there days but I can’t be specific. The other way to do it is certified, I think, where the recipient has to sign for it. Or maybe it is registered. Can’t remember. Google the two words. Or just bring a $10 bill with you. You should get some change.

it will cost you less than $5 trust me i mail things almost daily, why would she get insurance? its not exactly something that can be replaced.

She asked about a safe way to mail it. And do you mean that it is not exactly something that can not be replaced?

no gail i mean its not exactly something that could be replaced if they lost the package

Aha, I see what you meant. Sorry for the confusion. Can’t one reorder a class ring from the manufacturers if too much time has not gone by?

I think there’s a lifetime warranty on them?

Cut it and pound it flat with a hammer. It will fit in the envelope that way. This will also eliminate the necessity of writing a note.

but in the back of my mind i would know its not the original and then i would probably blame my ex for having it in the first place even though it was probably my fault that the ex had it
