USPS Insurance?


Recommended Posts

I know I know. Too many USPS threads right now.

I've never got insurance for myself or a buyer before and now a few different buyers are requesting it on ebay.

I understand how it works but i have a question.

For me, do i collect any more money besides "how much" they are insuring for + shipping? like fees?

kind of off topic has any one ever shipped records fed ex ground. I ship a lot through them because I get a minor discount, but i think it would be cheaper than 10 dollars, and you get free insurance up to 100. I have issues paying for usps insurance just because they are to lazy to do their jobs properly.

Chad, I think you will find our rates for shipping phonographic records without correspondence very competitive and independent of where you are shipping from/to:

5lbs $100 insured value

cheapest Fedex home delivery NYC-LA: $12.75

cheapest Fedex home delivery NYC-Chicago: $10.88

USPS media mail w/ insurance: $6.19

2lbs $100 insured value

cheapest Fedex home delivery NYC-LA: $10.62

cheapest Fedex home delivery NYC-Chicago: $9.52

USPS media mail w/ insurance: $5.02

Printing your postage with Click-N-Ship or Paypal will allow you to add Delivery Confirmation for little or no additional expense.
