Actually the amount of insurance is what you decide not what the post office says any particular item is worth , next time you goto send something ask about it you'll be really surprised how inexpensive it is . You pay X amount to insure for X amount . When you do this believe me they NEVER lose or damage your package , try it sometime and you'll see .

But I didn't mean when you sent them to yourself from France meant when sending them to those you sent to , US - US . . . The sending to other countries is a whole nother ball game and there i'd definitely do as you did with signature guarantee . As I said above and sorry so poorly writ , I don't think the French mail system has the same type of insurance and it's instead they simply just use the signature guarantee thingy . At least that is my experience when I asked others to insure when sending me stuff from France , they said whatever it is the title of such signature delivery system in France was the signed for delivery . According to those i've purchased from France anyway and i offered up front to pay whatever extra it would cost them to insure . .

Anyway its like 3 bucks to send something signature guaranteed , its like a buck fifty to send it with 100 dollars worth of insurance . Something I learned over the years to save but that only really is beneficial enough in cases of when you're sending a lot of stuff so want to save half the cost in shipping . Now another thing to consider , if you're mailing it to someone who has a lot of theft be it at the post office or at the residence , do signature . If you are sending it to most who don't have those issues id recommends saving yourself half the cost to insure . Let me add one thing there , say it was possible or you had sent yourself the items from US to US . If you had insured them , opened the package and some were broken - guess what , they owe you ALOT of money . This is something the post office or any mailing company NEVER wants to do so those packages don't get damaged and are very rarely lost . . Without the BIG label that says insured - they toss it around bounce it off the wall and don't care , with insurance uhht oh I could get yelled at lose my job , demoted and so on , handle with care . .
