So if you HAD to send cash through the mail.

How would you do it?
USPS? FedEx or UPS? what about DHL?
What would be the best way to conceal the cash? Tape it to the inside of something, and then put it in a box?
What do you guys think?

How much cash are you trying to send?
I usually send in a birthday card if I'm sending cash, but that might be an easy target?
If its more, and a concern, just use an padded envelope or box.

I've sent cash through the mail plenty of times, all I do is wrap it in a piece of printer paper, put it in the envelope and send it with regular postage.
Never had a problem.

I have been putting cash in the mail for the past 10 years and not once have had a problem.
Just put the cash in the envelope. If your paranoid, put it between two notecards.
You honestly think the mailman is holding up every envelope to the sun to see if there is cash inside?

Do you guys think a large amount of money sent in a envelope placed in a document mailer would get there? Is it possible for mailmen to get sticky fingers, would that be something that looks like it would have money in it?
I know you're probably supposed to do money orders for this stuff but...
should get there fine as long as whats inside can be seen from the outside of the envelope right

Having worked at UPS, i'll tell you i probably processed 100 letters a day that could have money in them. The thing is, when its in the system, they all look the same.
I agree with whoever said send it UPS and insure it. Preferably insure it for the amount inside, but that is not always possible because of costs.
Seriously, how much money are you talking? 1000? 10k?

If its a significant amount of monies:
1..put your $100 in a flimsy envelope 2..insure it for a stated value of $200 3..send it and hope it gets lost in the mail
Insuring mail is cheap, and instead of it being nicked is an issue, you actually HOPE it will never arrive

i've heard this works..
1) get your quantity into the largest bills possible.. avoid anything under a 20, preferably stay w/ 100s and 50s. 2) get yourself some carbon paper and a thin magazine. 3) place your money throughout the pages of the magazine, try and stick to <5k/magazine. 4) line the front and back of the magazine w/ a couple of pieces of carbon paper on each side. 5) place in a security-paper document mailer. 6) overnight UPS or Fed-Ex. The ones that use their address as the return are better, i've heard. And mailing to another shipping placeor business is ideal..

If I remember correctly, UPS and Fedex insurance will not cover cash or an equivalent. I don't know about the USPS but, I seriously doubt anyone who isn't in the business of transporting cash will insure it.
