Now you can add insurance to your Click-N-Ship service labels. Available online at www.usps.com/clicknship for Priority Mail and Express Mail labels printed with postage, coverage is available for up to $500 upon payment of applicable fees. Express Mail service provides coverage for the first $100 at no additional cost. Items must be properly packaged. 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. Go to www.usps.com/insurance/online.htm for more information about online insurance.
For insurance coverage of more than $500, you may purchase retail insurance at a Post Office. Retail insurance provides coverage up to $5,000 and may not be combined with online insurance. Registered Mail service provides coverage up to $25,000.
