How much does USPS charge for insurance?

Factual Questions
1

Their website doesn’t give details. I’m thinking about insurance for items:
$1k
$2k
and
$3k.

Thanks in advance.

Insurance starts at $1.95 IIRC and goes up slowly. Your insurance cost will be around $10-15 for those values I think.
Overall, postal insurance is a bit of a scam, they almost never lose a package. But if you need insurance and not just tracking, it’s available.

Which is not factual enough for General Questions, so let me add some facts: You can’t insure something for more than it costs. And you can’t send cash in the mail.
So, um, whatcha mailing?

Thanks. :slight_smile:

I’m thinking about selling some stuff on ebay, mostly silver. It’s not worth much but I’m hoping to sell in bulk.

Is what they sell actually insurance or a product similar to Declared Value coverage as offered by commercial carriers?
