Delivery Confirmation is a service offered by the United

unsuccessful, the date and time of the delivery attempt. The

service is currently available for Priority Mail and Package

Services, which includes Parcel Select, Parcel Post, Bound

You may combine Delivery Confirmation with other services

such as COD, insured mail, registered mail, parcel airlift

(PAL) or special handling.

There is no charge for Delivery Confirmation when you

ship by Priority Mail and provide an electronic file to the

Postal Service. There is a per piece charge when you ship

Package Services using the electronic option. To get the

latest fees, go to

www.usps.com

and search for "Delivery

Confirmation".

Differential Weighing

The weighing mode that allows you to put all of the mail

on the scale, then remove each piece one at time. As you

remove each piece, the system calculates the weight and

prints postage (either on envelopes or tapes). This saves

time by eliminating the need to place each piece individually

on the scale.
