Do you guys use the post office? :-)

[statetech]

Ok, I've used insurance at the usps on a few occasions but I don't have a good understanding of it. I've checked their website (www.usps.com) but can not find their insured rates. At what point does the fee rate changes (e.g. do they charge the same amount for items with $50 to $99. increments of $50??).

I'm beginning to ship more items now since I've begun to ebay some things and need to have a better understanding of the shipping nuances. Any help is much appreciated

Yes, i use the post office. Those lines, oh how i hate them :disgust: But i can't help you out with your insurance package, i can't remember the rates.

up to 50 bucks = $1.10

up to 100 bucks = $2.00

havent had to ship anything over 100 yet

Be sure to get insurance when you ship its WELL worth its measly cost

I use the post office all the time and those are the rates for insurance. Keep in mind, the max is $5,000

What would be interesting is finding out how insurance claims are handled.

I know getting a claim settled from UPS is hard. I can only assume getting a claim from USPS is 100x as hard.

I have to use them since they won't let me take my P.O. Box home.

Odd little bit of info:

$50 of insurance, no signature required on delivery.

$51 or more of insurance a sig is required at delivery.

ALWAYS insure for over $51+
