They did not invent registered mail for nothing. It is exactly for the reason that mail does not get delivered. I am sick of counting how many times I've received somebody else's mail. And I got $8,000 worth of integrated circuits from Digikey marked as delivered but missing. By sheer accident found that it's been delivered to the house of one of my neighbors.
I even once chased the postman and asked him why are you dropping somebody else's mail in my box? All I could get from him was: "it is ok"
- DanBC 6y agoBut in for legal cases in England and Wales you only need proof of posting, you do not need proof of delivery. Using proof of delivery can cause problems. People are allowed to decline to accept those letters, and if they do that there's now a paper trail proving they didn't get your letter. That doesn't happen if you just use proof of posting.
- mitchdoogle 6y agoI don't see the problem in what you describe. Seems like a problem only for people who find the truth inconvenient
- FpUser 6y ago>"But in for legal cases in England and Wales you only need proof of posting, you do not need proof of delivery" Then it is sorry state of affairs. People could get punished for no fault of their own.
