If you haven't considered paying for services in a way that doesn't involve mailing letters, now might be the time to give it another thought. Missouri residents are being urgently warned by many experts to stop mailing checks immediately.
This is not a realistic option for everyone, but authorities have issued an urgent warning to Illinois residents to stop mailing checks or to potentially suffer dire consequences.
As the son of a former postal worker, it pains me to pass along this news, but a proposed change in Illinois by the United States Postal Service will almost certainly slow down mail in a big, big way.
The United States Postal Service delivers a LOT of packages every day, but some things are absolutely banned from being sent through the mail here in Minnesota.
I thought I knew a lot about what is permissible and what isn't when it comes to things you can send through the US Mail in Missouri. I learned there are more than a dozen things that aren't allowable that actually surprised me and maybe they will you, too.
