NIP returned but Royal Mail delaying.

Hi,
I received a NiP from the police for doing 35 over 30.. anyway
it's my first offence and never had one before. So I do not have
any points on my license.
I filled in the form and posted it back via Royal Mail signed
for 1st class as l'm a bit anxious it would be late.
The 28 days notice ends on the 20/02/24.
I have proof of postage with receipts, dates, tracking number.
I checked the Royal Mail tracking and it still hasn't been
delivered.
What should I do if they receive it late after the deadline?
Should I give them a call and make them aware?

I'd call. It has probably been delivered.

Thanks. I’ll give them a call this morning and check if they
have received it. What if they haven’t ? What should I do ?

Sending something signed for is generally a really bad idea to
somewhere receiving bulk mail as
1/ It won't be signed for and
2/ The Postie won't even bother going through the hundreds of
items to find and 'self sign' it.
Sending with free proof of posting is cheaper and just as
effective.
It's probably been delivered but not logged, just delivered in a
sack with the rest of that days mail.
The police are not in the habit of prosecuting for replies
received a few days late anyway, they would prefer to just
progress the underlying charge.
As above, you can phone and ask if they have the reply.
Arguably as you 'know' (at face value) that the reply hasn't be
received you need to make immediate arrangements to get details
to them (another advantage of using proof of posting instead, as
you it could create no such liability).

As above - the processing centres pay not attention to 'signed
for' so it's really a waste of money - but you have proof it was
sent (but not proof of what was in the envelope!). you'll get
the offer of the SAC if eligible shortly (probably), but chase
them to confirm receipt if you're bothered.

Spoke to an agent this morning. She chased it up for me an
emailed me this afternoon confirming they have received it and
will be in touch shortly.
