[Elecraft] Online Orders: both international USPS options, were not valid

[Larry Phipps]

Depending on country, you can purchase more insurance than the USPS 
internet store allows by going to the Post Office. For some reason, they 
need to see the package if it has high insurance. Probably because 
someone ran a scam somewhere, sometime. Priority Mail is more limited in 
its insurance options unless you live near a major city. Express Mail is 
generally a good bet. Express Mail Guaranteed is actually handled by 
Fedex and is much more expensive. FWIW, I send lots of packages to 
Europe and have never had to file a claim... but I always buy insurance

USPS options are not allowed for international K3 orders because the
maximum insured value is not great enough.
