Delivery Confirmation (DMM S918)
Retail (manual) and electronic Delivery Confirmation options will be extended to First?Class Mail parcels. For Package Services items, Delivery Confirmation service will be restricted to parcels only and will no longer be available for flat?size mail. For First?Class Mail parcels, the fee will be $0.13 for the electronic option and $0.55 for the retail option. The fee for the retail option for Priority Mail service will increase from $0.40 to $0.45. For Standard Mail service, the fee for the electronic option will increase from $0.12 to $0.13. For Parcel Select service, the electronic option will be included in postage. For all other Package Services items, the fee will increase from $0.12 to $0.13 for the electronic option and from $0.50 to $0.55 for the retail option. See DMM R900.9.0.
For the purposes of adding Delivery Confirmation service to First?Class Mail items or Package Services items, a parcel will be defined as any piece that has an address side with sufficient surface area to fully display the delivery address, return address, postage, markings and endorsements, and Delivery Confirmation label. The parcel will be required to be in a box or, if not in a box, will be required to be more than 3/4?inch thick at its thickest point.
Right now, there's a link from the USPS website that lets you register to print a "shipping label with postage." Through a separate link, you can print a mailing label without registering (and thus, wouldn't need anything else to get the free electronic DC) but that feature will probably be removed when the new rates kick in. You registration would probably need to be tied to a credit card or bank account, then you'd be able to print the label with DC & postage.Originally posted by: ScrapSilicon

On the bright side, the damn confusion is free of charge.
Q. What kind of printer should I use?
A. You can use a Hewlett Packard LaserJet or compatible laser printer. Our scanning equipment is not capable of reliably reading labels generated using InkJet or dot matrix printers.

NBC had a segment on USPS priority mail on Thursday that said during their tests it actually took longer to send anything priority than 1st class. Most took 1-2 days more by priority. They interviewed a postal employee who said that if the package is going less than 600 miles he would never use priority mail.
