EMS packages are covered by EasyPost Shipping Insurance
EMS (Express Mail Service) is an international express postal service for mail and packages that was established in 1998. The EMS acts as the cooperative body of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). The UPU is an intergovernmental organization that governs the 192 members on postal issues and ensures a global postal network. EMS, as a service, has priority over other postal services and through the global unionisation of its members, maintains the largest delivery network globally. EMS leverages local postal operators to provide the highest number of customer access points in the world, ensuring every business and citizen can receive mail and packages.
