Depending on country, you can purchase more insurance than the USPS
internet store allows by going to the Post Office. For some reason, they
need to see the package if it has high insurance. Probably because
someone ran a scam somewhere, sometime. Priority Mail is more limited in
its insurance options unless you live near a major city. Express Mail is
generally a good bet. Express Mail Guaranteed is actually handled by
Fedex and is much more expensive. FWIW, I send lots of packages to
Europe and have never had to file a claim... but I always buy insurance

From what I understand from discussions that may have been off-list,
USPS options are not allowed for international K3 orders because the
maximum insured value is not great enough.
