Or you could just not collect it and it will go back to the sender and possibly be sent back by ordinary post or possibly hand delivered by a representative of the sender.
Your probably better off collecting it.

I thought the whole idea of sending a registered letter was to make sure the person you were sending it to received it.
This letter is now sitting in some post offices and its up to the op if he collects it or not.
Is it not the postmans duty to deliver it to the person named on envelope
I know he prob did try and deliver and op wasn't home

Congratulations, you have a child.

The last unexpected one i got was a summons.

If you were stopped at a checkpoint anytime lately you may have been summoned for something.

aaronjumper

Always sounds like we live in a fantasy book or movie to me. "You have been summoned"

More than likely a summons, either you were caught doing something you shouldn't have been, or you get to be a Juror I would say.

Definitely a summons so. I'd advise you to clear your browsing history.

Is that a problem or are you thinking of trying to get out of it? Far as I know you need something signed by a Doctor or a job in government to do that. Or the Army.

Well it's probably for jury duty then. Sadly for you, you won't know until you open it and bad things might happen if you don't open it.

scamalert

hate those always bad news none the less usually-summons,lawyer,court.

sometimes id wish i knew whats inside that i would pretend its not for me :cool: since no signature no proof of receiving it.

But hey if you didn't do anything bad,you never know :pac:

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

So it's probably a summons for allowing evil to triumph.

How do you sleep at night?

Tell them you don't live in the post office and they better deliver it.

irish water bill???

I got a letter in the post before for jury duty but it wasn't registered so it's probably not for that.

It's a call of duty for the Irish Army.

Jury duty?

We've adjudicated on this and ruled it out.

alwaysadub

I missed a registered letter recently. Hardly slept that night wondering what the bad news was.
It was about my car insurance. Reminding me to send them a form back.
So it could be nothing too important either!

irishgirl19

Yup should've read the whole thread before I posted.
Only one way to find out!

I object! You're leading the witness.

That's how it usually goes on t.v. anyway. . .

Pinch Flat

It's a chain letter - you have to re register and send it to some randomer. Or you'll have 7 years bad luck / lose a fortune / die horribly. They're a pain in the hoop.

Well worth collecting....could be the Spanish "El Gordo" cheque

the sender posts the letter because they want to be sure the addressee gets it.
Postman delivers it, the docket you got is an attempted delivery which means it is in the local delivery office for you to collect. I think it's either 5 or 10 days before the letter is returned to sender if it's not collected.
Even if you go upto the delivery office try have a glance at the item before you sign for it, to see if it's big, small or any clues on it.
If you opt not to sign it gets sent back to the sender with a notice saying it was refused

Good advice. Its usually fairly obvious what it is. Anything without obvious cash inclosed is a straight no no. The postman does not care either. He has no probs returning it. If it has a stamp *city council..etc..it is unlikely it is a cheque..

As mentioned above it's definitely not jury service. They come in a plain brown envelope from your local council.

Probably from a solicitor saying you've inherited a wad of cash.

Jury duty

daheff

Its from a dead Nigerian Prince's heir. He just needs some assistance moving money around. No biggie. He'll give you a small cash amount for your help.

Badly Drunk Boy

It's probably one of the registered letters that I send randomly to people I don't know, just to freak them out. It'll just contain a list of the food that I ate the previous day and what I estimate to be the cost of said food.

arayess

unless you are expecting something I'd leave it in the depot uncollected.

its' probably a summons or a bill. once you sign for it you can't deny it.

as long as you don't need to provide ID to sign for it then yeah you can. Make sure you sign completely differently to how you normally do (or get somebody else to get it & sign for you).

I say you cant deny it because quite a few posties sign for stuff to help out their locals...mine did it..and theres been a few threads on boards about that happening too.

Bad decision. The OP is genuinely concerned and you move it to after hours where people are going to wind him up and make him more anxious?

You do have to bring ID and the notice to collect items .

As for Posties signing for items they are idiots since they can get into a fair bit of trouble if that is found out .

Safe thread.
