2 things.... If USPS is like Canada post there's not really much point adding insurance on a lower priced item for a suspect buyer because you need him to participate in the claims process and if he ripped you off you know that ain't going to happen. A signature is what you want, insurance is pointless. And 2nd the post office loses way less than 1%. 1% would be an absolutely insane number going missing every day. I would say it's more like 1 or 2 in 500 and not necessarily from being lost... in the accidental sense.
It is like that with the USPS. Both parties have to be willing to participate. If a seller thinks I'm going to mess around waiting in line at the USPS dealing with insurance over $50, they're a funny seller.
Signature is what is useful.
I would be an angry seller if they lost 1%. *knock on wood* But I've probably had 20,000 shipments over the past 10+ years. How many were lost in shipment? Zero, so far.
