Where Can I Find Out Insurance Rates For US Postal Services With Letters To The UK?
Question by Geoff C | Posted in Insurance
Each envelope would contain an item worth around the $30 mark, but as they would be going international I want them to be insured. I can find UPS rates, but not USPS rates for insurance.
I looked at the Express mail, but I noticed a bit of small print which says that certain items are excluded from their insurance, jewelry amongst them, which is one of the things I do want insurance for.
Answer: Look at USPS' website...you may be able to get "insurance" for doing registered mail....

Car Insurance For Rural Carriers For Usps?
Question by phyllis c | Posted in Insurance
Doen anybody know if your car insurance rates go up if you are a rural carrier for usps ? I have state farm insurance and have been a little nervous my rates would go way up.
Answer: Your personal auto policy won't cover you, AT ALL, if you're using your personal auto for delivering mail. Not the damage you do to someone else, not the damage to your car. Period. It's not something you can endorse onto the policy and pay an extra rate for. So, NONE.
USPS is a governmental entity - and they "self insure" their fleet of vehicles. You're going to have to check with the local risk manager for your USPS office, to see how they handle employees using their own vehicles for company purposes. If it WASN'T a governmental entity, I'd say, the commercial policy probably will cover your LIABILITY while you're driving for business, but likely NOT your car
I sold some dishes on eBay. I sent dishes through the mail via USPS flat rate box, well-packed, and they arrived damaged. I purchased insurance for the items in the package. How do I proceed in getting the insurance claim paid so the buyer can have their money refunded? Does the package recipient take the package and items to the post office and start the claim there, or do I, as the sender, need to file something?
Answer: ~~The recipient takes the packaging and items all to the post office at her location along with a copy of the invoice of what she paid. The information on the shipping label will allow the postmaster to see the insurance was purchased, but they will require to visually see the damaged box and merchandise.~~
I'm trying to ship one or a few packages that will be around 5000 dollars in value. The USPS website offers no definitive answer as to how they calculate their insurance rates. I'm assuming because it's an outrageous cost.
Answer: This USPS website does offer a definitive answer as to how they calculate their insurance rates.
The definitive answer as to how they calculate their insurance rates is at http://www.usps.com/prices/insurance-pri ces.htm and says
that for $600.01 to $5000 of coverage, the cost is "$7.70 plus $1.00 per $100 or fraction thereof
over $600 in declared value." $5000 is $4400 over $600. Therefore, the cost is $7.77 plus $44, which comes to $51.77.

I am building my business webpage. I am going to use UPS and USPS as my shipping service for my customers. but I don't know how to creat this page with shipping options, rate, insurances options, delivery options. etc.
Answer: There are many ways to do this. You can research any online retailer to see how they do it and determine how you want to handle. Additionally, you could look into using a free fulfillment house like Bongo International http://www.BongoUS.com
They will store your goods for free and will ship your goods domestically and internationally as you sell your products. They can provide you the rates by weight and you can just post them to your site. It is a great way to outsource your operation with zero costs to yourself. They make a small margin on each item they sell and that is how they can afford to store your goods for free. Additionally, they get such deep discounts due to their volume
