Yes, USPS Priority Mail is insured against loss or damage. The amount of insurance coverage varies depending on the type of Priority Mail service you use and the value of the item being shipped.

If you need to insure an item for a value greater than the free insurance coverage limit, you can purchase additional insurance coverage through USPS. The cost of additional insurance coverage varies depending on the value of the item and the type of service used.
