Post Office question????

Question

Anyone know how to send offical mail with reciept requested? I dont want to get down to the p.o. and look like a fool, if they dont know what i am talking about.

Answer 1

I've never heard of an individual sending "official mail."

Choose Return Receipt when you want proof of delivery (information about the recipient’s signature and actual delivery address). A return receipt may be purchased before or after the mailing. A mailer purchasing return receipt service at the time of mailing may choose to receive the return receipt by mail or e-mail. (The e-mail option is available at most Post Offices, contact your local Post Office for availability ).

With Certified Mail™ you can be sure your article arrived at its destination with access to online delivery information. When you use Certified Mail, you receive a receipt stamped with the date of mailing. A unique article number allows you to verify delivery online. As an additional security feature, the recipient’s signature is obtained at the time of delivery and a record is maintained by the Post Office™. For an additional fee, you can request a copy of the signature record before or after delivery with Return Receipt.

Answer 2

They know that this is not a common form of mail and they don't make you look like a fool. In fact, they will help you fill it out if you don't understand it. It is a matter of filling out two pieces of paper, that generally only THEY know how to properly fill out.
