Not only is Recorded Delivery not always recorded, it is not always delivered
either!

Although it costs more I would only use Special Delivery (previously called
Registered Post) for anything that I wanted to be fairly sure is actually
delivered, and that delivery documented. Recorded Delivery is normal post but
(usually) with a signature- not necessarily always delivered to the address
or person on the envelope, nor necessarily signed for by anybody that can be
identified or traced afterwards. It is only as reliable as normal post but
it's more effort, costs extra and guarantees nothing.
