Basically anything is mailable and insurable if it meets hazmat requirements and is packaged properly. If an insured package is lost in the mail, the person filing a claim must produce the original insured mailing receipt and proof of value of the contents of the package. If a package is damaged in handling, the requirements are the same except the damaged article must be surrendered to the Post Office when the claim is filed unless the damaged item repairable. In this case the Post Office will only pay to repair the damaged item.
