Insurance Fees
You can purchase insurance coverage up to $5,000. For our most secure service, see Registered Mail for coverage up to $25,000. For articles insured for more than $50, a receipt of delivery is signed by the recipient and maintained by the Postal Service.

You may purchase additional special services when you purchase insurance. For items insured for $50 or less, you may purchase special handling service. For items insured for more than $50, you may purchase restricted delivery, return receipt, or special handling services.

Have shipped over five thousand packages last year with my company via USPS. Only one was reported lost, and that was only because the guy's company mail room lost it (he admitted it later).

i'm sure you can download the porn off the net...

I think the packages are insured for $100 by default or something... go to the post office and ask 'em about the insurance.

Insurance is usually a buck for every $50 in value. Pretty cheap to get just to be safe. However UPS and Fedex both have free 100 insurance minimum though.

The cost of insurance is then buried in the extra cost to ship unless you are a business account.

Hey USPS isn't that bad. I've sold many things and always shipped USPS with mo problems. But I usually ship priority with delivery confirmation, and that should make sure that the package gets there alright.

pretty soon you'll be able to blame FedEx when USPS screws up cuz they're merging (or something like that)
