***This is on top of the package business that has already been transformed by Federal Express and UPS.***
In the past I have had extremely important several letters, that could have been sent first class,sent by either UPS or Fed X. I just didn’t trust the mail delivery.
A typical point...I ordered some money from my Credit Union. By mail it takes one full day to be delivered here. Order it on Monday early, and it is here on Wednesday.
After a week the check did not arrive. I called the CU and stopped payment on that check and had a new one cut and sent. It got here after one full day.
Two days later, I got the first check which took 10 days to get here. Why? Because when the first check was mailed the person putting the stamp on it accidentally tore it in half so there was a 1/8 inch gap between the top and bottom half of the stamp. Electronic scanners could not pick up the stamp so it had to be sorted by hand.
I just wire funds.
