We recommend insuring high value orders. Here is the fine print about shipping costs and “insurance.”
Shipping Insurance
USPS
All packages are insured up to $100. Any additional insurance will need to be purchased.
Packages mailed USPS can be insured up to $5,000 of the purchase price to protect against loss or damage (additional insurance).
The recipient may be required to show an acceptable primary ID before USPS will deliver the mail piece.
Please see USPS website for more information.
UPS
UPS provides all packages automatically with $100 worth of liability for loss or damage. A shipper can choose to declare a higher value for the shipment with an additional charge. UPS states that the declared value IS NOT considered insurance.
Please see the terms and conditions for UPS shipping:
