Ok so what really is the purpose of certified mail.
I mean, so you have a signature proving that the recipient signed for something. But what? Could it have been important documents? And empty envelope?
So what do you really prove if you send certified mail? Nothing. not a damn thing. Say you have a dispute with I dunno, a concrete company or a complany that installs tankless water heaters. And you send them, certified, and empty envelope. Later, if the dispute went to some type of litigation, you could say just about anything was in there. A dispute letter? Response to a dunn letter?
It proves absolutely nothing.

I demand that someone close the certified mail loophole, and save consumers millions of wasted dollars buying something that really means jack shit.

I think the only people who use the service any more or at all are lawyers.

And the IRS.

yeah, it's also used to prove notification for zoning/variance requests, to adjacent neighbors. the receipts typically have to be provided to the zoning board of appeals.

I requested a zoning change, had to send out my letters. The one lady who lived behind the site and I knew would be a problem, claimed she didnt get the letter until 2 days prior to the meeting. Even though it was delivered to her 17 days prior to the meetings. She came to the meeting ready to fight that she didnt get this letter in time.

Luckily I have the date the letter was sent and first attempt to deliver was made.

She stands up and says she was at work and didnt get the letter.

I then ask her where she works (I knew where she worked)

She then answers in front of the neighborhood meeting 'I work for the post office"

The grumbling starts, people start laughing at her, even the Alderman laughed, she gets mad, starts crying and screams "HE IS GOING TO RUIN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD"

She was dismissed and I got the Zoning change.
