Is it worth it to insure USPS?
Insurance is a valuable tool for filling the gap. And in many situations, the no-cost USPS insurance is enough to offset any potential losses. But it’s important to have a process in place to handle any issues that come up.
What is not covered by USPS insurance?
Insurance is not available for items that are perishable, flammable, or too fragile to withstand normal handling in the mail. If you have insured an item online, you can mail it at a Post Office, hand it to your carrier, request free package pickup online, or drop it in a USPS collection box.
