1st class signed for would be the best surely ??

signed for is a bad idea - they can refuse to sign for it and then say it wasn't received (true)

Though given nobody is actually signing for anything at the moment, are the posties even giving recipients an opportunity to refuse delivery, or just shoving it through the door?

Undervalued

A 1st class item is deemed to have been delivered 3 (?) days after posting

Agree that "belt and braces" from a 2nd Post Office is a great idea

Get cert of posting

The balance of probabilities then suggest that the recipient received at least one copy

As you say, balance of probabilities.

None of these things of course prove what you sent. You could have posted them an empty envelope or a blank sheet of paper! It has been done.

For civil claims the general presumption would be that correctly addressed mail is delivered - because the vast majority is. Generally a recipient will have a hard job convincing a court that they didn't receive a correctly addressed envelope unless they could show a history of mail delivery issues
