I ship priority mail and would like to offer delivery confirmation option to my customers. Is there a way to add this option say the same way customers can choose insurance? Possible to put below that perhaps? Cost is straight 45 cents for any package, so there wouldn't even be any calculation table involved. Seems simple to add - is this possible? Or perhaps a box for customers to add additional costs if they need to?

Delivery Confirmation is FREE when using the electronic option. All you need is a credit card or check card and to register at the USPS site. I ship 100% with Priority Mail and post that Delivery Confirmation is provided - hey, it costs me nothing. The mailing label with the postage imprinted and the electronic delivery confirmation stuff is printed right on the single sheet of white paper I use.

Thanks Bill! I have to insure alot of my packages because of customer requests on fragile items, so I'll probably use labels without postage imprinted. This will be great for my winning bidders. They can track them on line. I really appreciate the information.
Sonya, I'd still like to see an addition on the checkout for customers to be able to add $ amount for additional services and fees.

the electronic option of free delivery confirmation at the usps site is available even if you print out the label without the postage prepaid.you just pay the regular shipping and insurance fees at the post office when you go to mail. this way your label is nicely barcoded and gives you a good shipping record. it also gives you access to the usps postal address database to confirm a approved address.
