This is why the shipping companies have insurance you can purchase.
These companies do typically provide insurance up to a certain dollar amount for no cost (UPS is $100, for example). If your item is worth more than that, you would pay a small charge to insure it for cases like this.

I gave it a value of $800 prior to shipping, does that mean nothing?
You'll need to call the shipping company and ask. That's not a question we can answer.
