How will cutting Saturday letter delivery play out in your life? [View all]

[no_hypocrisy]

Try the period between the issuance of your monthly bills and your payment will shrink. Without the Saturday letter delivery, you may risk having less than 10 days to find the money and get it to the creditor on time.

Let's say your credit card company sends out your invoice as it usually does. But it arrives at your post office on Friday afternoon, after your home delivery has been done. That bill waits until Monday, specifically Monday night when you come home. Let's say you even have the money ready and you mail the payment right away the next day on Tuesday. It isn't going out until Tuesday afternoon or night. That's a delay from Friday to Tuesday, more than half a week. Your payments may arrive past the date they are due, and you incur interest and late fees as a result.

It will Russian Roulette with your bills as some will be delivered Mon-Fri and others will languish for 3-4 days.
