64. Certified mail is good enough, if you want confirmation of acceptance

Mon Jan 7, 2013, 11:30 PM

Jan 2013

Registered mail is a waste of time for that purpose, you do NOT need to know every Postal Employee who handled the package, all you need to know is BOA received it. Certified mail can provide THAT level of service.

The extra cost of Registered mail should be reserved for valuable items, cash, diamonds, gold etc. In such situation you may want to know who was the last Postal Employee to have the package. You do NOT need that information for documents sent to someone like BOA.

You want to know HOW BOA handled the paper work you sent them, NOT how the Postal Service handled the paper work. Your problem is BOA apparently does NOT know how to handle its internal paperwork movement. That is beyond the ability of the Postal Service, that is up to BOA and registered mail will NOT help you in that regard.
