Does you bank offer free bill pay? Or perhaps one of your credit cards? I've used my financial institution's bill pay service for ECUA since day one. No issues, no costs, no fees. And no trash by the road, so it appears ECUA is happy. >I could pay them online but have to mail a check to ECUA (or maybe drive down to make a payment in person, but that makes a one dollar stamp sound cheap).

The US Postal Service is pricing themselves out of business." Yep, I do whenever possible. I hated when ECUA took over from Waste Management because I could pay them online but have to mail a check to ECUA (or maybe drive down to make a payment in person, but that makes a one dollar stamp sound cheap). Every time they raise their rates they encourage folks to find other ways to communicate and do business. I can imagine a point in the future when somebody is told, "Since you're the only person still using the postal service, we'll have to charge you ten billion dollars per stamp." I think it was the Postmaster General who had an alternate solution to his money woes a few years back: charge each email at the rate of a first class stamp. That would make them plenty of money as they had no expenses in providing the service. Al Gore should have held onto the Internet back when it was only costing the federal government five to ten million dollars per year to operate. On the other hand, you can imagine what shape it would be in by now if they had. David for progress REGARDING:

They put my mail in other boxes and others in my box. Learn to read or pay attention to your work. Everyone should go purchase forever stamps before the price rises.

It's not bad enough that we have to process our neighbors mail on a weekly basis, but they are wanting more for doing a pitiful job. Where I live we get certified mail and have to drive 20 miles to the Post Office only to find irregular hours and have to wait for an hour or make a second trip. There's more but I had better close.

So to make people use the post office more, their idea is to RAISE the price? Yeah that will make them come (that was sarcasm). People are trying to save money anywhere they can, so why would you charge more and cut services. People want more for less NOT less for more!! But after all it is a Government run agency right?
