UPS (pronounced "OOPS" around here) has a track record for "losing" anything of value that is shipped on the cheap. If you don't insure it for full value and declare that the package contains the queen's jewels, it will get appropriated by someone who will properly appreciate it.
I always ship smaller packages of high value through USPS, they have more stringent internal controls.
