You'll have no proof if it got there on time if it comes up later.

They could say "we received it on the 16th" and you'd have no proof otherwise.

For our tax returns, for instance, we always use something that we can track later. It costs more, but it's worth it if there is a dispute later.

I have been known to mail like eight copies of things when I have time. because one of them has to get there, right? - amanda Nov 9, 12:37 2
- Ours is slightly different because most states use the postmark date, but Louisiana is *notorious* for assessing penalties based on "received date" - spamlet Nov 9, 12:39 1
  - I would frankly risk the texas thing in 1st class mail unless it was vitally important. it'll make it. - amanda Nov 9, 12:43
