[QUOTE="Silver Eagle, post: 3358076, member: 100655"]I retired from the U.S. Postal Service in 2002 as a carrier. At THAT time domestic Registered Mail was considered the MOST secure way of sending anything through the mail. The reason for that is it MUST be signed by EACH PERSON who touched the piece all along the way. That way they can pinpoint the person who touched it last. As a carrier I always "sweated" when I TEMPORARILY misplaced a registered piece even for just minutes. I sent a registered mail piece to an address which was 20 MILES from my house. It was NOT a valuable piece of mail but wanted to make sure the recipient received it in a timely manner. This was my FIRST EVER sending of a registered mail piece. Don't you know it got lost. I filed a complaint and spoke to everyone I could think of who had some authority to do something. They finally found it and delivered it without giving me any details. The U. S. Postal Service is like the Titanic, going down and going down slowly.[/QUOTE]
