Mona,
You were talking about delivery confirmation etc. and mailing packages on Kim's post. I had some advice for you, but I thought you might not see it over there, so I'm copying and pasting it here.
If you are going to be shipping a lot of things, go to USPS.com and sign up. You can print out your postage, attach it to the boxes and then ask for carrier pickup, all online. When you print your postage there, you get free delivery confirmation, and ALSO you can click the little box for email notification. In other words, when your package is delivered you get an email as well. It is SOOO easy. No going to the post office, waiting in line, then paying more plus paying for delivery confirmation. The only problem is this, your regular postman is out sick, you get a new mail person, she takes the package pickup notice ( the paper they have that tells them to pickup), puts the notice in your mailbox and drives off. You are too slow to get to the door in time and off she goes down the street, leaving your six boxes sitting on the porch. I was SOOO mad, I finally got the right phone number for the post office and called them. She came back later looking really dumb. Asking, which copy do I keep? What do they teach them, nothing??? Anyway, other than that one time, everything is easy.
