Why should I send by Special Delivery when I've sent my other statements by non-special delivery? Don't forget this is my 12th statement and have done it before. If they don't get it I just resend it.

With CPW, it may work as they give you 60 days but with any other company (all of whom say 30 days), you probably would end up regretting it. You probably wouldn't even get time to resend it within the 30 day period. Lets say your billing date is 5th May 2006, most likely you will get your bill in 2 weeks. Then you have to send your bill and if that goes missiing, you will end up chasing it which will take time and if you want to resend it again, you gonna have to rush in order to beat the deadline date. If that goes missing or the company rpetends it aint got it, your basically ****ed! Its not worth the hassle or risk.

you do know that this is my 12th and final bill and it has worked for the previous 2 statements?

well, you might have been lucky but for most people who try to send it via ordinary post, they risk losing the mail. Nothing stops a company from lying that they aint received your letter if you send it via ordinary post. No one will ever know. It is a big risk which includes chasing them up, resending bills or even losing your cashback. Its just not worth it. It only costs a few pence more just to get tracking mail.
