billytheghillie Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Always send paper work to plod either recorded or signed for, saves any come backs, and stick the receipt in your gun cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 90 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Yes - always send your FAC and/or SGC recorded Edited March 28, 2014 by V8 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Recorded is a bit of a waste of time tbh. All it means is that it gets signed for the other end if it arrives. If it gets lost before it arrives at its destination, there is no way of tracing it. Special delivery is a few pence more, tracked and has to be signed for also. So if it doesn't arrive at the destination, there's a chance of finding it. As they say, proof of posting is not proof of receipt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee. Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Take mine to HQ or direct to the FEO. Got my variation thru the door today (hand delivered by the look of it). Took 7 working days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuffy Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I drop mine off at any police station . Not had one go missing yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Yes, I always use confirmation of postage and sometimes SIGNED FOR.. Phoned them once, they said they did not have the information on computor, I told her it was recorded, amazing how fast she came up with, "oh yes it hasn`t been opened yet, 6 months down the line. and I always keep a COPY with the date at the top. (Just in case).. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorvale55 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I always take any paperwork to my local Police Station in a properly addressed envelope and ask them to send it in their internal mail system, this way it never leaves the hand of the Police.

hawkeye Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Always drop mine into HQ only 10 minutes down the road saves time, If its just a variation they have called me next day to ask if they should post it or will i collect,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Keep the little tracking receipt if your under Durham,theres a good chance you'll need it,lol Edited March 29, 2014 by Davyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cottonseed Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I take mine to the Hq everytime - not far and if its lost in the internal mail ! Yes, I do this as I live quite close to HQ. But on the envelope, I put ' By Hand. To gate security at 10-30pm/whatever, March 31,2014/whatever'. It may seem paranoid, but I don't trust the post! Also, if you can get a variation in the in-tray first thing on a Monday, it's on the doormat Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
