Do you provide insurance for shipments?
The United States Postal Service offers insurance options for shipments, providing peace of mind for valuable or fragile items. When a customer ships a package, they have the opportunity to purchase insurance coverage for an additional fee. The insurance typically covers loss, damage, or missing contents during transit.
Coverage limits can vary depending on the service selected, and customers can choose the insurance level that best suits their needs, with coverage options generally ranging from a minimal amount up to several thousand dollars. It is also important to note that certain items may not be eligible for insurance coverage, such as certain types of perishables or items that are prohibited by postal regulations.
Customers can find detailed information about insurance options, including coverage limits and pricing, on the official website of the United States Postal Service. The website will also provide guidance on how to file a claim in the unfortunate event that an insured package is lost or damaged during shipment. Be sure to check the latest updates for the most accurate information.
