Registered mail is kept under lock and key from the time it is dropped off at the post office to mail until it's delivered to you. If you are not available to sign for it, it will be put back in a locked cabinet/closet at the post office and you will have to go sign.
Registered mail is what diamonds/gold/important documents, etc are mailed with.
When I worked in a contract post office, it was a big deal to get registered mail in. All sorts of paperwork, then placed in a large canvas bag with a lock.
Just last week, a lady from Hong Kong sent me 3 cheapy rings via registered mail. Me or the mail lady could understand why she sent them registered. It was like forever for them to find the key to unlock the cabinet it was in, then I had to sign 2 or 3 places that I did in fact get it, Show my I.D., etc. Neither of us could translate the amount of $$ spent on her sending my 3 cheapy rings via registered mail, but I KNOW my shipping payment of $4 didn't cover it.
