Traditional Methods of Delivery: RPost considers traditional methods of transmission that add accountability, as basic as first class mail with certificates of sending and/or receipt, to courier services, to fax with transmission logs, to telex. RPost is far superior to these methods in the sense that Registered E-mail® service is faster, less expensive, and provides a greater level of protection – not only confirming sending and receipt, but also official government time of sending and receipt, as well as CONTENT sent and received.
