When should Signature Confirmation be recommended over Certified Mail?

Signature Confirmation is particularly recommended for packages because it provides a way to confirm delivery while typically involving larger, more valuable items that may need extra security during transit. This service ensures that the recipient must sign to receive the package, providing proof of delivery that can be beneficial for both the sender and recipient in case of disputes or questions about the delivery.

In contrast, other options such as letters under one ounce, postcards, or situations where insurance is not needed do not align with the primary purpose of Signature Confirmation. Letters and postcards generally don’t require the same level of assurance as packages, and if no insurance is needed, the added layer of confirmation may not be necessary for those types of mailings. Thus, when sending packages, utilizing Signature Confirmation is ideal for ensuring authorized delivery.
