Shipping knives to people??

Canada Post will insure up to $1000 per shipment, Peter. They just don't guaranty delivery times.
 
Rick, I have had two packages insured for more than $1,000.00. One for $1300.00, and one for $1150.00. Both were insured for that full amount, sent Xpresspost to the States from our p.o. here in Louisbourg. They both made it.

Just FYI... I insured a package for over $5000 once at Canada Post. Turns out they wouldn't have honoured it because it was a breech of policy. Check your paperwork, Peter. I had a few lengthy discussions with two different PO locations.
