I stupidly used Canada Post Express (maximum insurance C$1,000) which  
is taken over by DHL internationally because that was what was  
available in Huntsville Ont.
They lost my $5,000 M8 for three weeks and I ended up dealing with the  
office of DHL's president to get it sorted out. One of my most  
frustrating experiences ever - and I have spent thirty years doing  
business in Asia.
