  1. $1000

  2. $2500

  3. $5000

  4. $10000

The correct answer is: $5000

The maximum amount of insurance that can be purchased for a package shipped through USPS is $5,000. This coverage applies to certain services like Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express. When sending a package, customers have the option to purchase additional insurance to protect against loss or damage, and the limit for this additional insurance is set at $5,000. It's important for customers to consider the level of insurance they need based on the value of the items being shipped, ensuring that they choose an amount that provides adequate protection. Understanding these limits is crucial for anyone working in postal services to help customers select the right shipping options for their needs.
