However, in the several years that I have been doing the on line bill pay, I've never had a situation arise where the power or my computer was down long enough to affect any payments. Of course, I always pay most of my bills for the month as soon as my S.S. check hits the bank, with the exception of 2 which I pay on the 15th. That way, they're all out of the way at once and I know I'm not forgetting any.

Obviously I trust myself 100% - but I sure don't have that same level of trust for the USPS.

I agree with you on paying bills online. Even better for me is to pay recurring fixed payments, like morgage or car payments, is to have
them auto deducted from checking acct & once set up, they're never late & I can count on it 100%. Not so with the USPS.
