I'm curious how many physical letters (in an envelope) people send these days. It's becoming a world of electronic payments and email...or your bank mails your bills for you. I remember growing up and watching my parents mail a stack of bills each month. That's certainly not the case for me. I don't have a single bill that requires me to mail it myself.

The only letter mail I send is my Christmas cards. Other than that, I don't put a stamp on anything.

I pay about half a dozen bills by mail these days. I don't send a lot of actual handwritten letters or correspondence by snail mail, mostly just the bills.

Auto-pay seems convenient, but I still don't completely trust it. It takes time to check my bills and statements, and then write the checks and mail the envelopes, but I prefer having control over that process and having the ability to catch mistakes before my money is automagically whisked away.

Back when I was shopping on eBay, I used to mail money orders as I didn't have my own credit card but I am trying to cut down on my expenses these days.

Right now, zero.

In my line of work I send a ton. Nature of the BEAST!

 

[feh1325]

happy 41 cent stamp day

Maybe a few times a year to friends outside the country. That's about it. Less than one a month, more than one a year.

The only physical letters I ever send nowadays are cards, and I don't even do that much. The only other things are the occasional money order (once every couple of years), or official documents like passport applications.

 

[mrarroyo]

Yes, I am an old fart and still mail letters.

 

[warubozu]

I send 3 regularly every month which is to pay for bills. Other than that I don't send any other letters thru snail mail.

 

[Contrastique]

I think I sent maybe one letter in the past 5 years.
I don't have many friends so that could be a plausible reason haha!
And I just hate writing christmascards so don't do that either (besides the fact I don't know who to send it to

). So I voted for Zero.

I rarely send letters. Only thing that goes in the mail for me are payments I can't make online and holiday cards.

 

[krmathis]

I send 2-3 private letters a year, at a max.
So I voted "1-5 Letters"...

 

[ErnDiggity]

1-5

 

[MrSlacker]

do rebates count? then a LOT hehe

 

[Fallingwater]

None.
I don't like handwriting and I don't like inefficiency, so there's very little reason for me to prefer snail mail to nice instant e-mail.
