Best postal service to use for power of attorney forms?

We've spent the last few months filling out power of attorney forms for my elderly parents. It's taken forever due to CV - travel restrictions and limited GP services. I also broke my right wrist 2 months ago and have only just been able to fill in the final section. There are 2 forms for each of my parents and it would be a disaster if they got lost. I was thinking of sending them by Special Delivery. Is this normal for poa forms or cause issues with delivery. I know it's a trivial question, but I can't get this wrong.

Not exactly the same, so not a great help, but I had to recently send an original will to the Probate office, and decided that special Delivery was the way to go (as with you, it would have been a disaster if it had gone astray as it was irreplaceable). I avoided posting it on a Friday, so that I could be sure it reached them on a working day, and scanned a copy of everything before I sent it so at least I had a copy if the worst happened.

Thank you. I've just spoken to my brother and that's what we will do. I appreciate your response.0
