Do you mail your utility payment?
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) implemented new procedures for dating mail on Dec. 24, postmarking letters and packages with the date they are processed at a postal facility rather than when they are dropped off in a mailbox — a shift that could affect whether time-sensitive mail is considered on time.
Date differences between when a piece of mail is dropped off by the sender and when it is processed and postmarked are likely to “become more common” as the changes roll out, according to USPS.
What can you do to ensure your payment arrives in time?
- Mail your payment well in advance of the due date (the 20th of every month).
- At the post office, you can request a manual postmark (also called a local postmark) to ensure the date matches when your item was accepted.
- Sign up for automatic payments and you won’t need to worry about postmarks. Your payment will be automatically deducted from your bank account on the 20th of every month.
