When packages are delivered to the Registry, the UPS/Fedex guys mostly know what's what & separate out the examiners' packages from the ones for the Registry.   There's no problem with that because an examiner is called upon to sign for all the examiners' packages (not that they have to keep track of them) & would instantly know that a package was to go to the Registry instead of an examiner. The same thing happens with the courier services.    I also don't have pkgs delivered to my home office because they generally don't arrive until around noon, & because, in Registries that I don't go to very often, I have an agreement with a local examiner to do the recordings for me.  My clients have instructions to send the recordings directly to those examiners because I once spent 4 hours plus travel time recording one set of documents in registered land in Cambridge.  So this package, was addressed to me c/o the Registry & by rights it should have sat in the examiners' box until I got a call from the client to go ahead & record.  Unfortunately it probably never got to the examiners' box because someone in the Registry opened it - threw out the rundown sheet & went right to record with it.  I mean, this wasn't a fatal mistake, but still, I was plenty upset.  I used to have a giant, industrial size client, who would send recording packages to the Registry without putting my name on the package & then complain that I wasn't doing rundowns after the fact, which is just plain ridiculous.  I told those guys that if the package didn't have my name on it, not to expect me to open it or do a recording & that I certainly wasn't doing any after the fact rundowns.  They are also no longer clients of mine. 

Again, my real beef is that if something had happened; if there had been an intervening lien or the borrower rescinded then the Registry would still be off the hook, which I don't agree with.  Any one can make a mistake, & I'm not angry about this mistake; it's the liability issue that fries my hash.
