Postal Service Launches Major Upgrades to Priority Mail 

Priority Mail® now includes free insurance, free tracking and day-specific delivery 


Th U.S. Postal Service has launched major changes to its Priority Mail line-up, 
with improved features including free insurance, improved USPS Tracking™ and 
day-specific delivery which are expected to generate more than a half a billion 
dollars in new revenue over the next year. 

Priority Mail will now provide scheduled delivery – 1-day, 2-day or 3-day based 
origin and destination of the package with improved USPS Tracking™ for all 
Priority Mail products. 

Tracking and scheduled delivery information will be prominently and conveniently 
located on customer’s retail receipts and is also available online using Track 
and Confirm. 

Free insurance is another new and important feature.  Priority Mail 1-day, 
2-day and 3-day will include $50 or $100 of insurance coverage depending on 
the payment method, such as whether a customer brought it to a retail counter 
or it was paid for online. 

Newly redesigned Priority Mail boxes and envelopes are available in Post Offices 
and online at usps.com with many Priority Mail Flat Rate sizes and pricing. 
Express Mail services will continue as Priority Mail.
