The US post office now offers Express Mail services with an option to purchase additional insurance.
Trying to get a straight answer, of course, is another story.
I shipped an item recently and wanted expedited delivery, but also wanted insurance. The clerk told me that Express Mail can be insured for up to $1200......the website says up to $5,000. You pay extra to add the insurance, but it is a faster way than Registered Mail to get something delivered and still have it insured.
Incidentally, for items exceeding $5k but not exceeding $25K, the Registered Mail is the way to go, and it can be used with First Class Mail and Priority mail.
FYI.
