Nope, the insurance only covers actual delivery of the packages, dead or
alive is not of the Post Offices' concern, only that the package arrives no
matter.

"Neither sleet, nor snow should stop our appointed rounds", <sic. But the
Post Office advertises "Priority Mail as 2-3 day delivery" as an average,
and refuses to re-imburse any users of their service<sic delays involving a
late delivery as is often the case! Even Express mail, at its elevated price
is no guarantee (except for refunding the cost of the shipment) that your
package will reach it's intended destination on time!

Sorry, welcome to the real world! Been there, done that!
