Don't use signed for post either. It's a waste of money and does nothing to assist you.
Use ordinary first class postage and get receipt for posting. This is free from any post office. First class post is deemed to have been delivered unless the recipient can give credible evidence it wasn't.
Simply saying "never got it guv" is not credible evidence.0 -

What credible evidence would you suggest someone supplies to prove they didn't receive a letter?0 -
No idea. Not my problem. That's why you use first class post. It makes it very difficult for someone to claim they didn't get it.
It makes it very easy for someone to claim they didn't get it, prove they did!
I second several other posters on here, if you're sending legal docs (such as LBA) send it recorded. If the person states they didn't receive it the court will delay the case.0 -

You don't have to prove they did. The assumption is they did get it. They have to prove otherwise.0 -
Who authenticated the item to say it was a fake?
What type of document did they give you to say it is a fake?
Where is the fake item now? if it went back to LV for authentication, they keep the fakes, to get them off the 'street' so to speak, I know to my cost!
If you have the right documents, I would also suggest you contact your local trading standards, as they can be right B*****D, when dealing with fake goods, as I also know.Breast Cancer 100 miles Oct 22 100/100miles

The only thing the sender has to prove is that they posted the letter.
Whether it's an LBA, a NIP for a traffic offence or a parking fine then provided there is proof of sending, the intended recipient has to prove that they didn't receive it.
If I was dodgy and I thought that I was going to be receiving an LBA and a signed for letter arrived, I would refuse to accept the delivery then the sender wouldn't be able to prove delivery.I second several other posters on here, if you're sending legal docs (such as LBA) send it recorded. If the person states they didn't receive it the court will delay the case.
With an unsigned for LBA, the onus would be on me to prove that I didn't receive it.
I know that this act doesn't cover all situations but:
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1978/30/section/7References to service by post.
Where an Act authorises or requires any document to be served by post (whether the expression “serve” or the expression “give” or “send” or any other expression is used) then, unless the contrary intention appears, the service is deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre-paying and posting a letter containing the document and, unless the contrary is proved, to have been effected at the time at which the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post.0 -

I think you have completely misunderstood the legal position. If you sent it they got it. You don't need to prove anything.0 -

I phoned a solicitor today. £100 for half hour appt. just thought maybe I could do something else. I had heard of small claims court but when I google it brings up other lawyers
Shouldn't do, Ive just checked and the first link is the gov.uk web address which tells you about the small claims court process.0
