Sending a valuable object?

send securely
MrsSzaps asked:

You want to send a valuable object to a friend securely. You have a box which can be fitted with multiple locks, and you have several locks and their corresponding keys. However, your friend does not have any keys to your locks, and if you send a key in an unlocked box, the key could be copied en route. How can you send the object securely?

    First, do not attract attention to it as being of any value. Locks and all kind of “warnings” give this away. Keep the packaging as ho-hum as possible. If there are any locks, send the keys via FedEx in a separate mailing.
    If you are really concerned, pay the extra money and go with FedEx. Get your tracking number and insure it. All FedEx shipments are sealed in such a way where they know if it has been tampered with.

    I would not send something in a locked box. There would be a problem if your package was picked for inspection. You can secure the box with those plastic zip ties. All of the major shipping companies also offer insurance on the items. I would definitely purchase the insurance on a valuable item.

    First send the locked box wrapped in normal packaging via Fed Express 2-day delivery. Second send the key via Same day delivery
