But I am filling out a form of complaint about how the package was handled, and I claim the contents were <$15... No, wait, that's wrong isn't it. Because the crocodile is eating the $15 again.

Bugger.
Anyone want to start a crocodile thread?
I'm going to bed.
When mailing the package, you want to state the goods are worth less than a certain amount, because more than is meaningless in this context and might attract the attention of Mr Customs Officer.

So <$15 (Croc would prefer $15 to goods)

When claiming for the insurance, you might want to say they were worth over $15

>$15 (croc prefers insurance money to $15)
