Delivery Confirmation
Carriers allow you to set the confirmation level of a package, and these confirmations vary from carrier to carrier. The majority of carriers support, at minimum, the common confirmation types listed in this table.
Common Confirmation Types
Confirmation Type | Description |
---|---|
none | No confirmation requested. |

You can set the confirmation
