I use to insure mine all the time, til someone told me not to, because the P.O. will not pay you what it is actually worth. I inquired and you have to have a receipt for the material, thread and how will you certify the actual worth. I have been mailing them w/out ins. for the past 10 years, just ask the person to let me know when they get there and to this day, I have not lost a one.
