Charged insurance on priority mail

I sent a package Tuesday via priority mail using the Bonanza labels. There was an option for insurance at additional cost. I thought insurance was free with priority. I did not check the box because I did not want charged more. But has something changed that I do not know about?

Insurance on Priority Mail up to $50 declared item value is free. If your declared value exceeds that, then there is an extra charge.

For Priority Mail Express, I think the first $100 in declared value comes with free insurance.

Best way that I have found to handle shipping is to open an account with the carrier ( USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL ) and when you ship an item, purchase the label directly from the carrier’s website. Bonanza charges for insurance on Priority Mail ( which is free for the first $50 of declared value ) and also charges a fee for purchasing the label through Bonanza.
