So, I’m sure by now you’ve heard the news that the United States Post Office will be changing their delivery schedule for first class mail.
See the USPS press release here.
For managers and landlords who are currently getting many of their rent checks via snail mail, this is terrible news. On average, it is said that standard first class mail will be delayed by 1-2 days, depending on the proximity of the delivery and time of receipt. However, the delay is likely to be much worse than this since Saturday deliveries are being cut as well.
So, a letter mailed out on Friday, in a close proximity location, will be slated for a 2 day delivery. It’s most probable that the first day counted in this piece would be Monday. This would put the delivery of a local piece on Tuesday or even possibly Wednesday. All in all, that counts for a 5-6 day local delivery.
The other day I caught a news segment on the newest outrage facing American [and many International] consumers: banking institutions’ plans to increadse service fees (some of which have been free services until now…). This includes, but is not limited to: elimination of “free” checking accounts, increased fees for overdrafting, bad checks, increased ATM fees, and even requirements to maintain a minimum balance in checking accounts that many people simply cannot afford today.
As short-term political motivation sullies the sanctity of central banking, presumptuous open market meddling, unrestrained by the boundaries of logic, makes a ticking time bomb of Federal Funds. It’s time we meditate on circumstance, accounting for the rational and the hardly so. Let’s see: inflation without spending? A stagnant, yet expanded money supply? At what point did capitalism become so irrational? What brought life to our economic paradox? The distant thunder of a self-imposed inflationary storm demands anticipation; it will not subside with neglect, and survival is a blessing left only for the aware, but it is the keen that will thrive. Stay informed, and stay ahead.
Hearing about the death of Steve Jobs was a very difficult pill to swallow. Sure, we all knew it was imminent, he had been dealing with pancreatic cancer for quite some time. But, somehow, the realization that it had happened was shocking, even still. Steve had an amazing knack for building world changing products, and we, at RentPost, share in that passion.
So, as our tribute to Steve and everything he’s brought the tech industry, we’re releasing our latest update at RentPost!
A lot has changed since the last time we spoke update business. We’ve been building out a lot of internal systems to better accommodate your support requests and build up our knowledge base. This includes a full new support portal, as well as some behind the scenes stuff that will allow us to better facilitate requests. In addition to our support portal, we’ve begun work on our upcoming marketing module, which has introduced some UI updates within the software. You’ll notice a new “personal menu” on the left side of your screen. This menu includes, contacts, tasks, messages, and a link to support. We’ve included a ton of bug fixes and improvements in this release as well.
This one is to you Steve, RIP comrade!
This commercial is too good not to share with everyone. And, I am sure many of you can relate quite well with this.
