Next month, the newly named Priority Mail Express will continue to include $100 of insurance coverage in the price for the service — the same as with Express Mail, the product’s current name.
But effective July 28, USPS is expanding its program to include insurance coverage, at no extra cost, to include Priority Mail. The Postal Regulatory Commission approved the USPS proposal June 21.
The expanded service will include insurance coverage of $50 or $100 for lost, damaged and missing Priority Mail. Coverage at the $50 level will apply except when the customer pays Commercial Plus prices or uses ePostage, Electronic Verification System, Hardcopy Manifest or an approved Manifest Mailing System.
Services that will not include expanded insurance coverage at no extra cost include Merchandise Return Service, Open and Distribute, Premium Forwarding Service and Reshipment Service.

I sent a CD with photos from a wedding I did TWICE, and TWICE it has NOT reached its destination. I will NEVER USE USPS again for any mail. This is not the first time this has happened. All my packages always end up missing and never get to its delivery point…EVER. USPS sucks! Case in point: USPS CERTIFIED MAIL sent Sept. 3rd, 2013 # 7006 2760 0001 5374 0114. Lavida has gone several times to the Post Office and no CD. Even though the tracking shows its there……ITS NOT. And she’s not lying either. So UPSP will no longer get my business…I will go to FedEx or UPS.
