Can you get free delivery confirmation for USPS media mail?

It's not??? I've used it before. Media mail with delivery confirmation. I paid like 50 cents extra? Something like that. I didn't know delivery confirmation is free with priority. Is it?
I regularly use delivery confirmation on media mail. Not only is it available but I usually get asked if i would like to add it to my media mail that doesn't already have delivery confirmation
I will double check today at the PO, but minendo is right in that on the USPS website the service listing for delivery confirmation does not include a rate for media mail.
***CONFIRMED*** PO lady says you can do it but it costs $0.10 more than delivery confirmation for priority mail.
Delivery Confirmation is $0.45 for priority mail
All other mail including MediaMail, delivery confirmation is $0.55
You cannot take delivery confirmation on media mail and first-class if the package is not atleast 3/4 inch thick. If it is not atleast 3/4 inch, you have to upgrade to priority mail to get delivery confirmtion.
Hope this helps.

That's interesting, do you know why there's a thickness requirement?

I think it because they offer delivery confirmation for boxes only. 3/4 inch makes it a box, maybe.
Edit:- they offer for parcels only. apparently envelopes are not parcels.
If you're mailing paper, one way to beat the system is to toss some peanuts into the envelope Then you can get some DC on 1st class!
