EXAMPLES: Domestic Priority mail (USPS) Starts at $4.60 for up to a pound. Domestic Priority/Registered mail starts at about $14.10 without insurance. Insurance starts at $1.65 for up to $50 of coverage, $2.05 for $50.01 to $100 of coverage, $2.45 for $100.01 to $200 of coverage, $4.60 for $200.01 to $300 of coverage, $5.50 for $300.01 to $400 of coverage, $6.40 for 400.01 to $500 of coverage.
