We signed for tracked in the offices I worked in. They were treated like specials ironically enough...

Which is overkill - because the price they are being charged for the service doesn't require the postman to sign for it. The fact that it has been received at the DO and shown as out for delivery and then delivered would suffice.

It had been suggested that tracked would be a tailored service encompassing both recorded and special delivery reflected in the price, depending on the customers requirement i.e time, date, signature etc. and would be opened up to private customers. I believe that will happen but it's a fair way off yet.
