How to Register for Insurance Claim in USPS - Simple Process.

You can file an insurance claim for loss or damage in the event that your insured package isn't delivered in good condition or isn't delivered at all.

How to Register for Insurance Claim in USPS - Step By Step.

When it comes to shipping, there might be times when deliveries do not go as planned. That is why insurance is automatically included from USPS when you ship your important, valuable or irreplaceable items using select USPS services.

If these qualifying shipments are not delivered or are damaged in the process, you will need to file a claim with USPS.

USPS is a separate entity from ShippingEasy.

You will need to create or login to your USPS account. Then, you will file a claim directly with them. Go to USPS.com to get started.

If you have purchased additional insurance via ShippingEasy, you will need to file a claim with our insurance partner, Shipsurance. Learn how to file a claim with Shipsurance.
