Use the Post Office and register the package. It costs $11.50 (at least that was the cost the last time I used that service). I ship to Russia and always register the package and have never had one *disappear*. When a package is registered it has to be signed for at every handoff. I priced 2lbs to Peru shipped First Class International Registered and it came to $28.49. Insurance is not offered.

You're right about insurance: It's not offered.
The countries you shipped to are not Third World countries; however, Peru is classified as such.
What I will probably have to do is this:
1) Transfer funds to my U.S. bank
2) Ship the item to my father's house (in the U.S.)
3) Have him repackage the item in another box, so that the word "Amazon" is no longer visible (which might prompt a "mysterious disappearance."
4) Ship it by DHL - or whatever it's called.
5) Hope it arrives here and does not mysteriously disappear.
