Probably because the government postal services have centuries of 
experience, literally.

Didn't know about the insurance issue. Good to know.

DHL is in the same class of UPS. The only difference is that they 
occasionally display the "state employee sloppiness", that is, if they 
have delivered a package to someone in your "zip code" area at one time 
or another, they assume that all future packages to that zip code area 
should be delivered to the same, tried and true address (no matter that 
you were not the first one in your zip code area to get a package and 
the present package was intended for you).
