Reviews

"Registered Email® service is ideal for documenting settlement discussions. I also send Registered Email® messages to clients for documenting custody and visitation communications. The 'never got it' excuse goes the way of 'the dog ate my homework.' The exact date and time the email was opened are now known. When sent with the banner showing, it is a subtle reminder the email should be taken seriously."

“Recently I requested coverage bound on an account. The underwriter failed to bind the coverage that he received by my email. Because I sent the request using RPost Registered Email®, I was able to show undeniable proof of delivery and that the email had been opened. I simply forwarded the Registered Receipt email to the underwriter’s supervisor and everything was resolved. Had there been a loss and later an E&O lawsuit against me, I would have had irrefutable proof to put into evidence to prove my case. I use RPost’s Registered Email service every day.”

“Using RPost provides an easy tool for obtaining electronic documentation of critical client correspondence, enabling us to meet regulatory requirements relating to verification of the delivery of certain notifications. Furthermore, we are able to reduce the cost related to printing and mailing documents, with the timeline for delivery verification also shortened. The reasonable cost of the software and its integration with currently used email systems made implementation quick and simple.”
