Are you a current shipper?  We offer tools to easily migrate from many of the older-style shipping platforms, like Stamps.com, Ship Station, Pirate Ship, Go Shippo, Shipping Easy, and others.

You’ve packaged the order, printed the label, and handed it over to USPS. The customer’s package is now on its way. But what happens if it’s delayed, lost, or damaged? That’s where shipping insurance becomes more than just a checkbox — it’s your safety net.

For e-commerce businesses, Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express are often go-to services thanks to their speed and reliability. Still, no carrier is immune to mishaps. InsureShipp offers affordable, integrated insurance coverage that works hand-in-hand with your USPS shipments.

Why Priority Mail & Express Are Popular

• Speed: Priority Mail delivers in 1–3 days, Express promises overnight or 2-day delivery.
• Nationwide coverage: From big cities to rural towns.
• Tracking included: Customers can follow their order in real-time.

The Problem with Relying on Carrier Liability Alone

• Limited coverage ($50–$100) is often not enough for high-value items.
• Claim processes can be slow and require extensive documentation.
• Coverage may not apply in all situations.

How InsureShipp Enhances Protection

1. Higher Coverage Limits — Insure for the full value, not just the carrier’s default.
2. Simple Claim Process — Faster resolutions with online submissions.
3. Integrated Workflow — Coverage is part of your label creation process.

Ideal Use Cases

• E-commerce sellers shipping high-value goods
• Businesses sending important documents overnight
• Seasonal spikes like holidays
• International shipments with higher risks

Step-by-Step: Shipping Priority Mail with Insurance via InsureShipp

1. Create a shipment in the InsureShipp dashboard.
2. Select Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express from USPS options.
3. Add insurance value equal to the item’s worth.
4. Print label and ship — insurance is automatically linked.

Real-Life Scenario

A boutique jewelry seller in New York shipped a $300 necklace with Priority Mail Express. When it went missing, USPS would have covered $100. With InsureShipp, they recovered the full $300 within days.

Benefits Recap

• Full-value protection for Priority and Express shipments
• Faster, simpler claims
• Integrated into label creation
• Peace of mind for customers and sellers
