<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 8214530, member: 74863"]When I was a postal manager I had no problems in tracking Registered Mail. It may have changed since I retired but I doubt it. It is scanned, everywhere it goes. The thing is for security purposes, the customer can’t see the scans. Only the first and last scans are visible. Postal managers can see all of the scans. It travels under Lock and Key and keys are locked up. One must have proper authority to have access to a key. A formal hand written tracking is also performed. All this is for security and Registered Mail is the safest way to send mail but it’s a slow way as well. You’re not paying for speed, you’re paying for security. Registered Mail is lock in a thick canvas bag that locked and numbered and that number is recorded.</p><p><br /></p><p>All other types of mail are handled like an envelope with a stamp. If the letter or parcel has a barcode, it’s scanned. Any one can handle it, minimal safety and shipped in open trays, tubs with no lids or in a wire cage or a cloth or plastic cart.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
