  • Learning the difference between private and USPS insurance can help you make the right the choice for your business. Here are some important things to know:

    With private insurance from Stamps.com, you'll save 14% compared to cost of USPS insurance rates. Plus you'll receive speedier claims processing and more direct access to customer support.

    USPS insurance provides the convenience of one-stop payment when you pay for the rest of your services. And because the cost is calculated as a part of the postage, you can pass the spending along to your customer without having to itemize.

    Stamps.com Insurance covers up to $2,500 only. We recommend using the USPS Insurance option for packages with a declared value from $2,501 to $5,000. If your package is over $5,000, use USPS Registered Mail, which provides coverage up to $25,000.
