How are you covered if you don't mail by going to post office?

I'm not exactly new, done about 8-10 trades of games I sent out Canada to Canada.  But I just drop them off in a mailbox instead of going to the post office.  But doing it this way doesn't give me any tracking number and delivery confirmation.  I haven't had a negative as of yet, but I'm curious what I can do if someone receives a game from me but decides to lie and say he didn't receive it, how exactly can I prove to disputes that he did receive it?

This never happened, but I'm just concerned if it does what can be done?

not much to my knowledge, are you just using stamps?

Take pictures of the game and the envelope with the address and stamps on it.  That's all I do.

I would like to know how you have never gotten a neutral feedback due to postage due.

Due to postage due?  I'm sorry I don't follow.  Why would I get a neutral for postage due if I'm using the correct amount  of stamps for each package.

either by pictures, include your username in the pic, not sure if goozex will acept as proof though, or you could start going to post office and just get receipts, instead of paying outrageous amounts for tracking

So there really is no way of getting covered this way than.....

Going to the post office is not even an option.  They open when I'm at work, and close when I get back.

What else can I do?

Hit up the post office during lunch if you can.  That's what I do.

you should buy postage from goozex and print out the address because it will include delivery confirmation

People he stated in his title he is shipping within Canada.  Cant use DC here and also cant buy postage from goozex since they only have that option for people in the US.

Also it is easy to put the right postage on packages for Canada.  All games that are full package and are not special editions will cost $1.96 to ship.  The only real way to get postage due on the games would be if you didnt put stamps on the packages, and hell Canada Post is so lazy that they even let packages like that get delivered.

A question for other Canadians here.  When sending mail to other Canadians by just dropping it off in a mail box.  How many permanent stamps do you usually use?

What about for DS games?

It costs $1.96 to mail out a regular game which means you need 3 permanent stamps + $.34 more in postage.

It costs $1.18 to mail out a ds game which means you need 2 permanent stamps + $.10 more in postage.

Nobody ever sells anything other than the p stamps.  Would it be a risk just including 3 p stamps for a regular game?  And 2 for a ds game?
