I know that this is considered 'yelling' in internet-speak and I meant to yell.

Certified letters cost. When I worked for a government agency, we had to be sparing with certified letters after we lost certain mailing privildges. Before that, it did not cost the state anymore to send a certified letter than non-certified. Just more work for us

They sent certified because someone wants to know that you got a peice of mail.

IF you sign for it, you have a hard time denying you got the letter when it turns out to be problems.

By NOT signing, you can say 'what letter?"

REMEM BER THIS: from past experiences any certifed letter is NOT good news unless you are expecting documents returned to you like I had. I refused to sign the receipt and told them to send it non certified.

I used to order from another country. Package was shipped from this country. One day, I get that green card in the mail saying I have a package to sign for. I knew what was going on but I wanted my package. So I went down to the PO early the next day and knocked at the loading door since they were not offfically opened. May or may not have signed the receipt and got my package. Some laborer loading trucks at the PO just handed me the letter (I don't think I DID sign for it now that I think about it). Had I signed the letter during business hours, who knows who would be waiting for me????

Needless to say, I quit ordering from this place after this.
