I'd like to ship a package Media Mail. At one time, one could print a delivery confirmation label for Media Mail at the usps site. Does anyone have a link? I know there's an option for this service because the post office charges .13 extra for First Class and Media Mail labels. Thank you in advance for your help.

I am not an expert here, but I think the only electronic delivery confirm available to be printed on the USPS web site right now is for Priority Mail and Express mail. (You do get free delivery confirmation with that.)
Delivery Confirmation is available at a retail rate and an electronic rate. The retail rate can be purchased at your local Post Office™ and uses the fluorescent green Delivery Confirmation label, PS Form 152. This typically costs 45 cents for priority mail and 55 cents for other mail types.
The electronic rate of FREE for Priority mail and 13 cents for other mail types is for mailers who use online Shipping Labels or are capable of sending and receiving electronic files of their shipments. Delivery information is available online and, for certified shippers, by file transmission.
I use Endicia.com service and can print delivery confirmation on Priority for free and other mail types for 13 cents.

I ship everything with eDC including media mail. I don't download I just go and print it off their website. See below, I print the label cut the priority part off and it is good to go. When you go go mail it your postal clerk should know what to do. How the labels work is after the postal clerk puts in the zip code, enters the way the package is going i.e. 1st class, priority or media mail then the computer knows that you will only be charged 13 cents.

I'd be afraid to try any of this new stuff. I go to a Post Office where you still tie your horse out front. When you want to ship Internationally they have to hunt up a book and blow the dust off.
