International Signed For Rates 2002-2014

The international version of the registered service, known as "International Recorded" from 1993, became "International Signed For" in 2002. Additional compensation for this service above the amount for normal mail was now available up to £250/£500 (depending on destination) for an extra fee, as with the Airsure and modified Swiftair services introduced at the same time.

International Signed For originally simply offered what the name suggested - a signature on delivery, with no accelerated handling. When Swiftair was dropped as a separate service in 2003, International Signed For packets were fast-tracked onto the first available plane to the destination.

This service was not one of the services ruled liable to VAT by the court case on that subject, and so fees to EU destinations were not increased in 2011.
