Pumps' Perplexities

With every piece of US Mail that you receive in your
mailbox, there should be a "Post Mark" in the upper
right hand corner of the envelope or package......

These days do not go crazy looking for it anymore......
A lot of credit card and bulk mail companies no longer
have them......Forgetting about the "junk" bulk mail,
lets look at your credit card or cable bill......

In the upper right hand corner of THEIR envelope now
appears a printed square saying, "Presorted First Class"......
Now this saves money for the "mailing company" and
handling at the post office.......But there no longer
appears a "date" when the envelope "entered" the United
States Postal Service.......

If for any reason the piece of mail is mishandled by the
US Postal Service, you have no longer a way to prove it......
All that is known is the credit company SAID they mailed
it......And PRESUMED you received it......All responsibility
for a late or non payment of that bill now becomes YOUR
responsibility........Both the Company and Post Office
know "from nothing"......You are left with any overcharges
and "holding the bag".......

If you pay your bill electronically, which the credit card people
would love for you to do, you will also save them postage
money and get an "accounts receivable clerk" fired......
They no longer will need anyone to open your remittance
and process your personal check......

Maybe it is about time the "consumer protection" services
get the Post Mark reinstated.....Pumps
