I do all my banking online. My credit union lets me pay my bills online. The companies that accept electronic payments are paid that way. The ones that do not, the credit union mails them a check AND does not even charge me for the stamp. It's totally free! USPS FCU, I highly recommend them.
Thank you 6:08 AM for the Xmas card, AND all the spam from the company you used, and from all the other companies they allowed to mine my email address. Now I get to spend many wonderful hours purging spam from my computer. Amazing, the cards I got through snail mail did not generate more cards. I can also hang a paper card on my mantel, but my computer doesn't seem to fit there.
online christmas cards, birthday cards etc...suck!!! I'd rather have that little baby in my hand. Do you send a picture of money and or check with your on line B-day card?
You can send a gift card from many different stores with a card you create online using NetPost Mailing Online, at usps.com. I have never used that service myself.
What I have used is Hallmark's free e-cards, and sent a gift card with them. The people who received them were delighted with them.
I also pay my bills online using the same arrangement with my credit union mentioned by a previous poster. I really like it. I feel bad that I am not buying a stamp to mail my bills out, as far as it being hard on the USPS. On the other hand, it's saving me a lot of money (no cost for stamps OR checks - checked out the price of a box of checks lately?) and I can just sit down at t he computer & do it anytime I want.
Gotta agree with 6:08 and 4:32 both about the down-side to doing things online. More and more activities are moving online, but I doubt (and hope) it won't replace all forms of more personal communication. For example, my girlfriend and I both are tech-savvy and have high-speed access at home. Do you think I am going to send her anything in an e-mail to her on this, the day dedicated to St. Valentine?
Heck no, I want some lovin' to go along with that card, so "online" is off-limits.
Sounds exactly like the Walmart takeover. Everything was FINE until Walmart came in, drove out the "mom & pop" places, and now everybody is bitching. It'll be the same with the Post Office. Sure, you will probably still have "free online bill paying", but when your internet provider raises their rates, THEN somebody will bitch. They WILL get their money's worth from you. ONE way or ANOTHER.
That is something most people cannot fathom. It's like the child with two glasses of pop in front of them. They will invariably take the skinny taller glass with 8 ounces in it, over the shorter stockier glass with 16 ounces in it, because they "think" they are getting MORE. Go figure!!!!
Excuse me for pointing out the obvious, but there isn't an internet service provider with a legal lock on access to everyone's home computer, in contrast to the USPS monopoly on delivery to mailboxes. That means that competition keeps prices for internet access at market value.
Maybe you should stop looking for every opportunity to bitch about Wal-Mart, and start learning something about the great big world around you. If you don't like Wal-Mart, simply stay the hell out of there and frequent those mom-and-pop places you hold so dear. If they don't survive, it is because not enough people shared your views to keep the business paradigm profitable. It's also referred to as the American Way.
I don't like Wal-Mart either, so I don't darken their door. I also don't give them free publicity by bitching about them at every opportunity, especially forums that don't have a goddamn thing to do with retail issues.

Eventually everything will be online. This is the future.

I meant to say I agree with 6:34 and 4:32.
That makes a lot more sense.
