Might not be what you are after....but.
When I was shipping a whole aircraft over seas, Vans was at pains to remind me that I needed to make sure that the total value of the shipment was insured. Infact they arranged said insurance, and it was added to the bill, as you would expect.
When any goods are shipped to me (overseas) I am aware that I can either choose to insure the goods or not. If not then the total liability is, of course, mine. I have insured expensive items, but not cheaper things, as the insurance cost is sometimes not a lot different to the value of the item. Mind you, sometimes the postage costs more than the item as well.
