The Bulk Mail Technician from Columbus, OH, scratches out the words and writes her own retort, "Buy a stamp! Save a job!"" on the envelope.
What do you think about paying bills online? Do you pay all of your bills through the mail? None of them? Some of them? Why? Let me know by clicking here.

I don't pay bills online. I'm not worried about security of the billing firms but I am not computer literate enough to know if my home computer is secure enough. I do use Pay Pal to purchase online. I setup just one credit card with a very small limit so if it's stolen not much can be charged to it. I have friends who pay everything online.
Writing on the envelop won't be seen by many people outside the Postal Service. Most envelops are handled by equipment, including opening and removing the checks.
Want to generate money?
1. Sign up for all the bulk mail you can and then remove your name and recycle those catalogs to doctor offices, etc. It takes a few minutes but it spreads the catalogs and hopefully gets more folks ordering through the mail.
2. Order just one item online or through the mail every 3 months. You'd be surprised how much catalog mail you'll receive. (and that's money in our paychecks :-)
I used to pay all the bills I could pay online, but not anymore. The convenience is NOT worth my job. The Post Office has always done a good job with all of my correspondence, it's just not instantly there, like it is when you email. I know that is what has hurt us, but there's nothing like a real letter!!
I love to look thru the travel brochures and try to pick up as many as I can. Then I fill out the prepaid postcards and send for more information from any state that I would like to travel to in my 'retirement' years. I have been getting travel information from many states. My thinking is to keep as much mail flowing and save my job!
I do not pay any bills on line, and dislike the idea of my credit card information online because of identity theft. Call me old fashion, but I feel to much information is available about a person at the click of the mouse.
I pay the bills online as it is convenient and automated but do consider postal revenue generation when I can. Hoever there are many services online services do not provide and we should try to maximize our revenue on it. Asking to not consider pay bill online seem to be conflict of interest from going green. If there is firm who allow to pay online, we should not be advocating that it is not good because it will impact USPS. I guess sometimes looking for startups , new venture firms and small business as customers will help the flow of customers growing. When they become big we can let them grow online but offset their business thru other means. How about USPS help business automate for them to go online and get paid. So intead of losing that business we are generating alternate revenue. Not every firm may know how to do it and we can be better off helping them to do it ourselves. There are always numerous firms that need this service.
