USPS Click-n-Ship said you can insure 1st class mail - anybody able to do it?

I saw the other day on the USPS site that you can now send 1st class mail with up to $200 of insurance.

Since for me this is the greatest invention ever, I signed up.

I went thru the form and selected insurance, but it didn't list 1st class as an option. I called the 1-800-ASK-USPS and they were ignorant - and I couldn't the ad on their home page again saying they have added insured 1st class mail (it started in September or so it said)

So I decided to go with insured priority mail, and paid $6.05 ($3.85 + $2.20 insurance). It went thru the billing part and charged my card, but never printed a label. I called the click-n-ship phone number and got a recording saying they don't answer questions and it hung up.

Has anybody used this new feature of insuring 1st class mail using Click-n-ship?

I had heard they were working on adding the insurance option to the site, but I hadn't checked on it recently.
It's good to hear they've finally got it up and running.

Believe me, it isn't up and running.

They have the part where they take your money down pat, but still have some issues with actually printing the label.

Have used it successfully twice but only with Priority Mail, no insurance for 1st Class yet. paypal will do 1st Class but no insurance. Paypal is supposed to include insurance before long, or so I was told.

May labels printed fine after downloading the Sun Java from the USPS site.

I wanted to do a label for First Class w/Deliv Confirmation that wasn't on the list either.

They were advertising 1st class insurance on their home page yesterday, but it's gone now. You can purchase insurance with priorty mail (if you can get the label to print)
