Yes, I believe the mail is much slower for parcels, so don't worry! I am sure it will get here!

Yes, well, I sent someone an older version of a club shirt and I got it for a steal on e-bay (for $40 instead of the usual $100 or so). So I figured if I sent it express and paid the $50 postage then I was still ahead of the game. If I'd bought a brand-new shirt instead of a used one then it would have been far too expensive to send the most expensive way and I would have worried for weeks that it got lost.

I usually send stuff using the method of having insurance that is free up to $100 gift value. The postage for that is mid-priced and around $20 depending on the weight of the gift. But for a rare shirt I wanted it to get there as quickly as possible and safely. In hindsight though, I would have been alright with the $20 method. *facepalm*
