(8,157 posts)It said payment is due on Feb 3. I just got the invoice yesterday. This is opposite to my car insurance notice that came in two months early. Made a call to my insurer, they tracked back the house insurance notice and found it'd been mailed on January 12! So, to cover my butt, from now on the insurer will not only be mailing me an invoice, but also sending a text. I figure one or the other will get to me. Better than trusting I'll sort it out from all the spam in email.
But this mail delivery is ridiculous. It used to be you could count on anything you sent to get to the addressee within 5 days -- usually by the 3rd day it'd land in their mailbox. It was consistent enough you could count on it. Today? You have no idea when anything is going to get there. I'm not as concerned about cost as I am delivery.
In addition, it's not unusual for us to have mail delivered early in the afternoon, and then also into the evening... like at 8pm. I've never seen that before now.
Last night, hubby brought in some mail around 8:30. He was outside as it was being delivered into our mailbox by UPS! So yes, DeJoy has got some contracts to deliver mail... but the quickest, surest method doesn't seem to be his driving concern (pardon the pun).
