Acknowledgement of receipt

This morning, I went to the post office as I had to send some letters certified and with acknowledgement of receipt. The letters are from the company I am working for and they were international shipping, so one letter went to England. At the desk of the post office, once it was my turn, the lady told me that shipping to doesn't except the choice for acknowledgement of receipt. So, I asked the lady why not, but she wasn't able to explain me why. Now, I am wondering if someone here on Mylot knows the answer.

Was it addressed to a PO Box? Usually, an acknowledgement of receipt would mean a signature of the receiver is required. And perhaps the letter was addressed to a place where no one would be available to physically receive and sign for the delivery.

No, it wasn't. The adress was complete and directly to an office of a big company.

@Meramar Maybe it's like a designated mail-room or something where it's unattended when post delivery is made...

@sishy7 Yesterday, I talked about it to one of my collegues who also sent some letters to England. So I told her what the lady at the post office said and my collegue didn't understand because she already sent some letters to England with the acknowledgement of receipt. I presume that the lady at the post office was wrong.
