and all other “customer” service in America now.

The local post office has been incapable for years now, especially at Christmas. (If try to mail a payment to a creditor, forget it, Just add the late payment.) I got a Christmas card today from my cousin in Bowling Green. Went through the Nashville PO on December 20.

My parents regularly get bills within a few days of their due date.  It's not just your local PO.


Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

Pay online. I haven’t paid any other way in years, except writing a check for my wife’s car recently. I hadn’t written a check in five years. Get with the times! 😉

A lot of people pay that way but you’ve contributed to the 3-5% hidden tax on all goods and services

  But then “good” credit card users can get 1 to 3% back.  The delta beats writing checks and counting on USPS.

I pay my bills with paper checks sent by mail. Yes, I am an old fuck. Sue me.

Used to be I could drop it in the mail five days before due and not worry about it again. Not anymore. I've been burned several times in the last couple years.

Yet you just keep doing the same old thing?

I remember my mom going to the various offices (phone, electric, etc) and paying our bill in cash and having the clerk stamp the bill “paid”.  In our small town she didn’t bother with mail. 

I also pay everything on line or with Apple Pay.  I do that knowing full well that every single transaction is in some data center some place and the NSA ( or any hacker) with its incredibly fast supercomputer find and produce my entire financial history.  The price I pay for the convenience for paying bills and buying stuff without ever leaving my Lay z boy.

Auto Pay and Apple Pay convenience probably explains my 12-15 streamining services and apps i pay for. I bet I regularly use 7

 

I did finally cancel by BTN+ membership though. And my rivals.com sub.

I'm an old fart but I haven't put a bill in the mail in a decade or more. I have everything I can on autopay tied to a cash back card that I pay off every month. That said the few that I can't I pay that way I pay in person by check or cash (small town). The one thing I can't have on autopay or pay in person is copays for doctor visits and lab work. I pay those online.

You can fuck right off. I'll have you know I migrated to cassettes long ago.

I'm not convinced my issues are completely on the USPS. I'm suspicious that my checks are received in time, but are sitting on someone's desk for an extended period before they're processed.
