control of the Post Offices of British Possessions and Foreign Countries, the Postmaster General will endeavour to obtain compensation for the senders under similar regulations, but in the Parcel Post with France and some other countries the compensation payable in the case of parcels not weighing more than 7 lbs. is limited to 15 francs.
A claim for compensation must be supported by a certificate of posting.
In no circumstances is compensation paid in res- pect of an uninsured parcel, whatever the country of its origin or destination, which has been lost or has sustained damage or loss of contents through a cause beyond control.
Miscellaneous Information
CERTIFICATES OF POSTING
Unregistered postal packets
If proof is desired that an unregistered letter, letter-card, postcard, printed paper, sample or news- paper has been posted to a particular person, it must be handed in at a post office and a certificate of posting asked for. The charge is two cents payable by means of a postage stamp which must be affixed by the sender to the form of certificate.
A single certificate in respect of several articles of the same kind posted at the same time can be obtained if a list of the names and addresses borne by the articles be presented with them. The fee will be two cents for each article.
It must be clearly understood that articles in respect of which these certificates are issued are not registered and that they will be treated as if they had been posted in a letter box; that in the event of loss, damage, or delay, the certificate will confer no title to compensation; and that it furnishes no proof of the nature of the contents.
