What is the maximum amount of insurance available for standard packages?

The maximum amount of insurance available for standard packages through USPS is $5,000. This coverage allows senders to protect their valuable items against loss or damage during transit, providing peace of mind when shipping important or expensive goods. Understanding the limits of insurance coverage is crucial for both customers and associates, as it helps guide customers toward the most suitable shipping options based on their needs.

Packages valued above this limit must use other methods or services, such as Priority Mail Express, which offers different terms and insurance options. Recognizing these thresholds ensures that you can effectively assist customers by providing accurate information about package security and protection available through USPS services.
