Is it possible to combine insurance purchased at the retail counter with that from the SSK?

The correct answer is that it is not possible to combine insurance purchased at the retail counter with that from the Self-Service Kiosk (SSK). This aligns with the USPS policy regarding the handling of insurance on mail items. When insurance is purchased, it is tied to specific postage and cannot be blended or combined across different purchase methods due to tracking and accountability reasons. Each method – the retail counter and the SSK – generates its own unique tracking and transaction information that is not compatible when combined. Therefore, all insurance must be obtained through one method or the other, ensuring clear records and proper coverage for the item being mailed.
