big mistake
Thought I could send in my application without return receipt and just call up to confirm they have it. Mailed on 8/27 and they still cant tell me if they have it. So now I sit on pins and needles wondering if they do. Figured that I did the online registration it would show up under online status, was I wrong. I'm sure its there but dont know.
Much has been said of the additional cost of registered postage. I think it is a small investment considering what has already been put out for the class and license fee. When the office claims your forms have not been received and you can prove to them they have it really lights a bigger fire under them to find it. It happened in my case.

I sent mine with delivery confirmation. Like someone said, I've got enough sunk into this process to spring for another buck or two. Even so, time drags on ever so slowly...
Good luck, keep in mind that the Post Office does deliver the huge majority of the mail without error. I hope you get a heads up soon.
