I can also honestly say that the U.S. Postal Service is the only way that I ship HLs. I've had too many problems with FedEx & UPS. I have never had the first problem with Priority Mail & it is usually faster.

My horror story happened within the first month of my HL collecting. I had purchased a Point Arena, that on arrival to my home turned out to be a VERY low number. The trouble was that UPS had all but destroyed the box & the lighthouse was in about 6 pieces. It was an awful feeling to know that I had purchased it at half the going price & it was broken in shipment.
