USPS includes limited insurance coverage for certain packages and services at no additional charges. Shipments can only be insured if tracking, such as delivery or signature confirmation, is included on the package.

See the table below for specific services and included insurance from USPS.

USPS Insured Service	Included Insurance for Commercial Pricing
USPS Insured Service	Domestic	International
Priority Mail	up to $100	up to $200*
Priority Mail Express	up to $100	up to $200

Note

*Non-negotiable documents shipped Priority Mail International will be insured up to $100 to cover the costs of reconstructing lost or damaged documents.

Other USPS services do not include insurance in the label price:

First-Class Package Service (domestic and international)
Parcel Select Ground
USPS Retail Ground
Media Mail
First-Class Mail (large envelopes/flats)

If you would like to insure over the USPS included insurance or add insurance to a service that USPS does not cover, you can add additional insurance coverage with Shipsurance. Shipsurance insurance is available when a form of delivery confirmation is on the shipment.
