Can i add insurance to existing priority mail label

Yes, you can add insurance to an existing Priority Mail label. Here are the steps:

1. Check if the label is eligible: Make sure the label is a valid Priority Mail label and has not been used previously. If it's a used label, you won't be able to add insurance.
2. Determine the cost of insurance: Calculate the cost of insurance based on the value of the item being shipped. You can use the USPS Insurance Calculator tool or consult with a postal clerk.
3. Purchase insurance: Go to a USPS retail location or online and purchase insurance for the item. You can use the same label, but you'll need to affix a new insurance sticker or label to the package.
4. Affix the insurance sticker or label: Attach the insurance sticker or label to the package, making sure it's visible and not obstructed by any other labels or markings.
5. Complete the insurance form: Fill out the USPS Insurance Claim Form (PS Form 2853) and attach it to the package. You can also use the online USPS Insurance Claim Form.
6. Keep a copy of the form: Keep a copy of the insurance form and the receipt for your records.

Important notes:

• Insurance can only be added to Priority Mail labels that are valid and have not been used previously.
• The value of the item being shipped must be declared on the label and insurance form.
• Insurance coverage is only available for items shipped within the United States.
• If the package is lost or damaged, you'll need to file a claim with USPS to receive compensation.

By following these steps, you can add insurance to an existing Priority Mail label and ensure your package is protected against loss or damage.
