I can't remember who it was (it might have been our bank), but last year for several months we received a message indicating that the transit time for First Class mail service from USPS would be extended starting in October 2021. Sure enough, some of our notices are arriving 2-3 days later than before.

Be careful with any bill you pay by mail and the requirement is it must be *received* (not postmarked) by the due date. People are going to start seeing late fees if they missed this change to the mail service.

We still use USPS to mail out certain bills, like our property taxes. Sure, we could have paid by credit card in the past (back in California), but that 3% fee on top of a $10,000+ property tax bill made the price of convenience costly.

Bad service like not receiving bills on time or not receiving them at all forced me to use bank auto-pay, which led to buying fewer stamps, which helped the PO lose money.

It would be best if the PO had no services and charged more for them ...
