I have been in business with my day job for 12+ years, which requires quite a bit of reliance on the USPS to mail checks. Usually customers mailing checks to me because I use Fedex to send the checks on from my office.
Its funny, I have limited confidence in the USPS, but I have to say they are at least 95% accurate. We don't tend to have many issues, but when there an issue it is disastrous.
Now on to the point of this post: How could my professional experience be 95% with the USPS, and my moonlighting as a slum lord be worse than 50%? What I mean is that I hear from deadbeats that "the check is in the mail" quite often. And it never comes!!!!
For example, today is sunday and I still haven't received the check that the guy put in the mail last saturday. Right.
So when someone is late with rent and I don't trust them and they are facing eviction, I demand they drop the rent off at my office. That way there are no games about blaming it on the mail.
