The Post Office actually has the safest means of delivering valuables via "registered mail". "Registered" means that anyone who touches the package has to sign a "register". Further, registered mail is kept separate from all other mail and in a locked cage which only a few employees are allowed to enter.
Registered mail dominates the market for delivery services for valuable items such as gold, diamonds, and securities (negotiable bonds and stock certificates). FedEx and UPS have cut into this market in recent years, but registered mail is still the best and the cheapest.
