Do you STILL use the postal services?

Thanks for your response.

I dont use it very often either. But when we do need to send formal documents or original documents, its useful.
Happy mylotting.

Perhaps parcels and sending of actual documents is the reason we still use the post.
Since we can scan documents, or fax it, postal services have long been replaced the electronic services available.

Thanks for your time and happy mylotting.

I can imagine! Most of us love getting even a card through the post - its very different from getting an e-card online.

Thanks for your time. Happy mylotting

You're absolutely right! It's so nice to get something in the mail which isn't a bill, solicitation for money or junk mail.

lol. Yeah, we do get those as well. People randomly send ads via mail because it catches our attention. But its a waste of time to look through those if we're not interested in it.
Bills is incredibly terrible and also the most disappointing mail.

Have a nice day

Thanks.
I use the post for the same.
Unfortunately, 1 out of 20 of my mails never reach their destination:(

Bills are unavoidable - and we usually get them via mail.

Its nice that you can pay your bills online - waiting in long queues just to pay you bill on time is tough and tiring.

Happy mylotting.

I use mail for paying my bills as I do not like putting banking online for bill paying. I have one friend and we mail back and forth. She i in Ohio and I am in Missouri. She has no computer and she does not have a car to get her to the library where she lives as its like 30 miles from her. We do chat by phone but we are both from the old school where it was common to write letters.

In places where internet facilities are not there, postal service is pretty helpful for communication.
Phone calls across states and countries is a huge expense, but sending mails is cheaper and also, mails can be read at any time convenient for the receiver. Its especially good if you're a busy person.
I can understand about online banking - it doesn't feel secure these days.

Thanks for the share. Happy mylotting.

Thanks for your time.

I agree. the postal service in my state is doing well with magazine subscriptions - there are many newspapers and magazines that are sent via post these days - the mosr common being Readers' Digest.

I'm glad the post is still there as people who don't have internet connection or in remote places wont be able to communicate otherwise.

Thanks for your time.

Sending greetings by email isn't that thrilling - even if there is multimedia and flash animation in it. A greeting card has its value as a material that we can store away and remember unlike a e-card that expires after 60 days.

Moreover, its more formal to send a card to your seniors and superiors than to send an e-card.

True, we don't know if we're getting the real bill or just a phony online. Just like phishing mails that scam us, maybe if bills ever are sent online, we people may attempt to scam us on that as well.

The thrill is a solid letter is awesome and irreplaceable by that in your online inbox.

Thanks for your response.

When it comes to family, they love photos that can be put into albums or letter that can be read over the dinner times. sending it through email wont be as thrilling.

Happy mylotting.

Thanks.
I do the same - greetings and cards to my friends, as well as sending presents via post.
Happy mylotting to you too.
