International signed for to Ukraine question

I have a buyer who has bought 6 items from me.
Value is just under £45
Buyer is in Ukraine
Normally I send everything airmail small packets but this order would be such a pain for me to try and find the various receipts if the packets got lost as some of them are listings I have had for a while, so I am wondering whether it is worth paying a bit extra and send it international signed for - an extra £5.15
Anyone with experience of using this service?

    I'm not sure what you would be gaining? If it is lost you would still need to locate receipts or proof of value either way.
