Additional USPS Shipping Insurance (for orders over USD $100)
Additional USPS Shipping Insurance (for orders over USD $100)
All of our shipments are automatically insured for up to USD $100 in loss/damage by the United States Postal Service (USPS) [details]. If your order value exceeds USD $100, we recommend that you purchase additional shipping insurance to cover the full amount of your order. You can purchase additional USPS shipping insurance coverage for your order for up to USD $5,000 in indemnity to protect against loss or damage (scroll down and add to cart). If you do not purchase additional shipping insurance for your order over USD $100, you accept full responsibility and liability for any shipping related loss or damages in excess of USD $100.
Shipping insurance claims are subject to the terms and conditions of USPS insurance. Heritage Post House does not control USPS insurance claims, claim timelines, nor guarantee claim acceptance or payout — all insurance claims are made and processed by the purchaser/client directly with USPS. For any shipping related loss/damage, filing a timely claim with USPS is your sole responsibility.
