I'm not sure what the best answer is for these insurance claims spots, but needing the proof of purchase is one of the worst. If the post office can't use info like VCP as a good enough indication of something's value, then they shouldn't offer insurance at all

I agree here. I have exactly zero receipts for any of my cards. Of course I don't have any really large value cards for which I may have asked for a receipt but still. If the PO sells you insurance for a certain amount and they lose the damn package then they should suck it up and pay out. Whoa, I got a little heated there for a second. Sorry.
