Waiting for checks or payments to come in the mail is an excruciating thing to endure. Is it coming today? or tomorrow? maybe later in the week or next week? Should I rush home to get the mail in time to get back to the Bank to cash my check?
These are the questions that can now be answered by the USPS (United States Postal Service) Informed Delivery. You can enroll using the link above, some areas might not be available just yet, but fear not, it’s coming soon.
