Is usps first class mail insured

Yes, USPS First Class Mail is insured up to a certain amount. Here are the details:

• First Class Mail Letters (up to 1 oz): $0.01 to $0.60 (insured up to $5.00)
• First Class Mail Large Envelopes (up to 13 oz): $0.21 to $1.20 (insured up to $5.00)
• First Class Mail Flats (up to 13 oz): $0.21 to $1.20 (insured up to $5.00)

If you need to mail an item that's worth more than the insured amount, you can purchase additional insurance coverage through the USPS. You can do this by:

1. Using a USPS insurance form (PS Form 3816) and attaching it to your mailpiece.
2. Using a USPS online shipping label and selecting the "Insure" option.
3. Visiting a USPS retail location and purchasing insurance coverage.

The cost of additional insurance coverage varies depending on the value of the item and the destination. You can check the USPS website for more information on insurance rates and coverage.

It's worth noting that First Class Mail is not trackable, so if you need to track your mailpiece, you may want to consider using Priority Mail or another trackable service.
