    macgyver you have hit the same problem I always do with recorded delivery and the reason why I bang on about it being worthless when people on the ebay board suggest using it for everything.

    I'm glad they got the letter though, at least that it one less thing to worry about.

    I agree, recorded delivery isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

    how do you prove something has turned up if it's not sent recorded?

    OP, how long would it take to do it all again? when is the last day you can leave it to until you have to do it again?
    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

    If it is very important then special delivery is the only real service available.

    Recorded is far too unreliable to trust anymore in some parts of the country.
