USPS Automated Certified Mail

Anyone have any experience with USPS Automated Certified Mail? I had to send out about 20 CRRR today for a non-credit relted matter. Man was that a pain to prepare all of those. Anyway, when browsing on the site for postage required, I saw USPS Automated Certified Mail advertised. Anyone use this? Looks like it could be handy for those of us (who me?) who are in need to send out a lot of letters CRRR. You create and store templates...send your letters, request return receipt...can view signature online....sounds too cool.

Here are a few points:

Our Internet Solution can be reached through the U.S. Postal Service web site:
US Postal Service Web Site

This service is perfect for casual users who may need to send mail daily or a few times each month.

NetPost Certified Mail is the exclusive Certified Mail engine powering the USPS.com website. USCertifiedLetters partnered with the United States Postal Service to add this new certified mail product to a suite of hybrid electronic services (correspondence that originates in electronic form and is delivered as physical mail) designed to save customers time and money, and to reaffirm the relevancy of hard-copy mail as well.

Customers can create a letter and transmit the document electronically to the Postal Service. Certified Mail provides a mailing receipt and a record of delivery, both retained at the recipient's post office. A return receipt that provides the sender with proof of delivery can also be purchased for an additional fee.
