Can I buy extra insurance for my UPS package when I pay for the shipping label through Paypal?

[debnjams87]

Is there any way to buy extra insurance for a UPS package when I am buying the shipping label through Paypal?  I know you have free insurance up to $100, but if your package is worth $200, do I need to buy extra insurance?  When  I bought my label, there was no place to buy more insurance.

Hi debnjams87,

UPS automatically protects every UPS shipment against loss or damage up to $100.00 USD. Additional protection up to $50,000 per package is available upon request. Simply enter the correct value in the Declared Value box for additional coverage.

In order to qualify for coverage above $999.00 USD, you need to complete a High Value Report that PayPal does not currently support. If you elect coverage above $999.00 USD, please see a UPS Customer Center representative.

Pricing for loss or damage protection over $100.00 USD can be found at UPS.com by visiting the UPS website. The maximum value or declared value per package shipped at a UPS Drop Box is $500.00 USD.

You can also refer to the UPS Tariff guide on the UPS website for more details about declared value including limitations and restrictions.
