Give me an education about this "PIRATE SHIP" method that has been discussed here.

NO!!!
You can insure it for any amount you wish (I've gone up to $2200). You just need to specify how much insurance coverage you want and pay the nominal extra amount.
UPS includes $100 in insurance with every shipment; last I knew, the USPS only includes $50 with Priority Mail.
Look under Extra Services and check the box. There you can fill in the amount you wish.

I want to Pirate Ship some items worth $900.00, and want to insure the package for that amount, and also a signature delivery, when the UPS driver gets to the buyers house, and rings the door bell.
Where the heck on the Pirate Ship web page, do you find this "EXTRA SERVICES" feature that you are talking about?
I wan't to calculate a total shipping quote, to give to my buyer.
Thank's a lot.

EDIT.
Disregard.
I found it.
You have to click onto the page like you are going to print out the actual shipping address to create the shipping label.
I think they need to improve on that, on their web page, for just calculating an accurate shipping quote.
