Reply to "paying for postage/insurance online -- ideas?"

Well, it figures that once I make a public query I'd suddenly figure it out. Well, sort of.

I suddenly realized yesterday that if you take care of your shipping through PayPal ("print shipping label") that you can send First Class mail. They call it First Class Parcel (and regular Parcel is also an option) but it accepted a weight of 2 ounces (and cost the normal 63¢) so it must be okay. You can also take care of insurance this way (up to $500).

The only drawback is they automatically charge you 14¢ for Delivery Confirmation (the USPS site charges nothing) but it's worth it to me to not have to stand it line at the post office.

If anybody else has any other suggestions or advice, I'm all ears, though!
