Everything I send via USPS I include a delivery confirmation as a protection to
the buyer and myself. At least this way he and they have proof the item has
been sent. If it was not delivered, the confirmation (or lack of it) speaks
for itself.
The cost? A measly .45 cents additional.
Cheap peace of mind, I'd say.

My experience is only with domestic and not global
If you purchase insurance they will give you a tracking number, although I
never could track a package with it.
I talked to someone at USPS and was told you can only do on-line tracking if
the package is sent with signature verification.
Good luck
