  -> thanks, David; I can't say I have ever posted my "Zahngold" but this should do it...
agree  nb1: I also agree. You might want to add "insured". I called the Deutsche Post and had it explained to me by a nice French lady speaking German with a strong French accent. And Mr. Whiteley might like to notify me next time he decides not to translate a term.
