I know for a fact that my mail doesnt arrive at all or in this case very late. Talk about snail mail. I've called the office etc..They need more help thats for sure. I'm on the upper #'s to receive my mail for the day;so if it's after the bank closes or it's a weekend-forget about it. Also, if your package is too big or you need to sign for something ,.you wont know about it until after hours, so you wait again. And if you work until 4or 5pm your screwed again.Can you tell I'm a little fed up? Any suggestions/

Your concern is getting the credit card payment there on time
They have hefty late fees, that's for sure
How are you getting it there?
You may need to send Priority Mail or Express Mail to insure it gets there on time
Maybe even Western Union Quick Collect

All of the answers so far are good advice. But I would tell the credit card company that you are putting it the mail today. As long as your payment is postmarked a day or two before the payment is actually due, there is nothing they can do. They will try to add a late fee, and possibly sending your account into an overdraft fee, if they do, ask to speak to the super. and be ruthless that they reverse those charges. If they still refuse, tell them you are prepared to take them to court for false charges on your account.
I have recently went through this and actually got the charges reversed. It is really hard and very frustrating but it can be done. Otherwise, I would try one of the above suggestions.

I disagree with homemake... They want their money before the due date. They don't care about postmark dates. Some government agencies, like the IRS, may say "its okay if you have it postmarked by the due date." But most companies don't think that way. In the case of the IRS, they know that millions of tax payers swamp the post office with envelopes on April 15, so they allow for it. If you owed my company money on a given date, and gave me some excuse about the mail being slow, I wouldn't accept the excuse.

The cc company may offer an online payment service. Or simply call the cc company and pay it with a check. Or open up a P.O. Box. if the box can be accessed 24/7.

You do not have to wait for the bill to write the check. You can call them while the bill is in the mail and ask the amount. Then you can write the check before the bill arrives.

You can either sign up online service from you bank or use the online service from your credit card company. Just one click away....all you need is spend about 10-15 minutes to sign up with all the needed info. like..online ID....password....security question and answer.....account number.........You will be a lot better off once those taken care off online.....good luck.

Most credit card companies have a website that you can sign up for to get an e-bill. E-bills are usually emailed weeks before paper bills are sent.

Set up with the card co and your bank to pay on-line. Then you can just click and pay at your bank's web site.
