Hello Estonian members,

On the backside of a registered letter send to Estonia I found a label from the Eesti Post where the following words are marked:

'kilega kinnitatult'

What does this means?

Hello Estonian members,

kilega kinnitatult = fixed with tape (film?)

Hallo Andres,

Thank you for the translation.
The envelop indead has tape on the backside but this tape was already put before the letter was send (Registering label is sticked over a part of the tape on the front side).
What could be the sence of this postal remark? Perhaps the scan of the backside with the label can help you. It is on a registerd letter send from Sweden to a post box in Estonia (year 2000).
Thanks in advance for more help.

bonsoir Trickgh,
as a retired usps employee, i offer 2 solutions to this puzzle. 1) this letter was sent in the condition and the receiving post office duly note the condition with a standard printed note on the back. or 2) the letter was damaged in transit from the estonian post office to another requiring repair, and the posting of the printed note. often, our own automation equipment used to cancell, sort and spray on barcodes will damage a letter. our procedure is to send this mail to the 'nixie' clerk or mail handler whose job it is to place it in a 'body' bag, or clear plastic sack or envelope that has a printed apology from the usps. early covers with damage markings from plane or shipwrecks can be highly sought after and valuable.

amities,
cajunsr.

Andres,
The envelop is in perfect condition so the 2) solution is not applicable.
Than we have to go for 1).
Could it be that the postal autority just wanted to point out that the tape is NOT put by them. To reassure the recipient that the envelop was not opened and resealed after a control by customs or other autorities.
