Priority Mail Express Package Protect & Signature Requirements

Why a Standard Signature is automatically required when insuring Priority Mail Express shipments

When shipping with Priority Mail Express (PME) and adding Packaging Protect, a Standard Signature is always required by default.

To simplify the experience and ensure compliance, Deliveri:

  • Automatically applies a Standard Signature

  • Charges $0 for this required signature

  • Allows optional upgrades to stricter signature types if needed

This ensures your shipment meets courier requirements without extra steps or unexpected costs.


Why Is a Signature Required for Package Protect Priority Mail Express?

Priority Mail Express is a premium, time-sensitive service. When Package Protect is added, a signature is required to:

  • Confirm successful delivery

  • Validate Package Protect coverage

  • Provide proof of delivery in the event of a claim

Because this requirement is mandatory, Deliveri applies it automatically to prevent shipping errors or rejected claims.


What Deliveri Does Automatically

When Priority Mail Express is selected and Package Protect is added:

  • ✅ Standard Signature is automatically applied

  • ✅ Signature cost is $0

  • ✅ The option is pre-selected and cannot be removed

  • ✅ No additional action is required from the user

This ensures your shipment is compliant by default.


Optional Signature Upgrades

If you need additional delivery control, you can upgrade the signature type for an added fee.
