On that shipment postage is $20, insurance is $4.50. A 4 lb. package
shipped to Japan, insured for $600, almost $40.
A customer says he doesn't want to pay for insurance and I remind him that,
that means if the package does not arrive he will gladly not take any action
(and I am not liable) because he demanded no insurance. The policy has
become: insurance is not optional.
