Avis de réception

#1 Post by bill » Sun Jan 29, 2017 6:51 pm

The Postal Guide, No. 10 (July 1895) provides information on avis de réception (acknowledgement
of delivery) for registered articles. The fee was 2½d in addition to all other charges (registration,
postage). There is nothing about this service in the Postal Guide, No. 7 (January 1894). It seems
that this service was introduced either some time in 1894 or early in 1895, rather than 1892 as we
read in Tinsley's book.
