Insured Mail

|
Protect your mail against loss or damage with insurance.

You have several options for adding security to the gifts and merchandise you send.
Security is key when you’re sending valuables through the mail. Whether you are sending jewelry, antiques or just expensive clothing, getting insurance provides that security. Insure your package only for what its contents are worth; you’re only covered for the actual value at the time and place of mailing.
Express Mail® automatically includes $100 of insurance coverage.
