I mail my bills unless I have to send it quickly. The electric company here charges a fee to pay online or by phone.

I do online bill pay,,,,,,,,,  I don't trust the mail lol   I mailed out 2 items one to Iowa and one to a place in my home town on the same day,,,,  the one to iowa got there first and the  home town mail was late and i was charged a late fee.  Go figure.   Online billing it will always be from now on !!

Awhile back my electric payment got lost. And it was local mail. It was upsetting to me but the girl at the electric company was telling me it's okay, it's only a 1.5% late charge.  :bs: The payment mysteriously appeared after I sent a payment to cover the lost one.  ???

I pay everything online.  It's much easier and faster.

Online!  Why spend needless time or money?  I only pay through mail if online isn't an option.  I even use manilla.com to keep all my bills and accounts seen in one place!

Oh gosh it's gotten so that I feel quite "put upon" if I have to write a CHECK payment to a business  ;D    There are very few people that I still pay by hand written check.  So many reasons to go online and pay bills:  time savings and mailing costs being the chief ones.  And I really like the record keeping that you get at your fingertips with online bill paying.

I pay the majority of my bills online now. I don’t enroll in auto-pay because I would like to know how much I have to pay for my bills.

We gradually phased out paying by check using snail mail.  Now we use online payments or automatic withdrawals.

Pay over the phone mostly, or regular mail occasionally.

I haven't figured out how to pay bills online yet, so I just do what I know works for me  :)

I never use snail mail anymore, only if a bill can't be paid online.

I use online banking almost all the time. The online time I use snail mail is if the company can't do electronic form of payment and has to be by check. It's just so convenient and easy to do online banking.

I pay all my bills online.  It's easier and do not have to buy stamps and run to the post office to drop off my mail.  I have been doing this for years.

I still use snail mail for my bills and pay by check. I have heard too many horror stories even from my Kids about people drawing their money earlier than setup. My daughter had to pay over $300 in bank fines, in just one year because a company kept on drawing money getting refused and then drawing again, every time they drew and she didn't have the amount in her account she got a $30 penalty. I pay by check and only by check, If the company doesn't have the check in hand, they can't pull the amount. This way I can account for it better with my check book. Sometimes the old ways are the better ways!!
