If You Purchased Postal Insurance

If you purchased insurance at the time you mailed your package, or if you mailed your package using Collect on Delivery (COD) service, Registered Mail™ with postal insurance, or by Express Mail®, these services provide compensation in case of loss or damage. This information also applies to domestic postal insurance purchased online for Priority Mail®, Express Mail, Parcel Post, Media Mail, and First-Class Mail® parcels. The information on the following pages tells what is covered by the insurance you purchased and steps you can take to recover the value of the articles you mailed, if they are lost or damaged.
