Well, I learn new stuff all the time! Last week I had lunch with a friend of mine, who is not a mystery shopper, and she just happened to tell me about this feature of the Postal Service called Informed Delivery. You sign up for an account with the Postal Service, and then go into "Manage Account", and activate the "Informed Delivery" option. Once you do that, you get daily emails
WITH SCANNED PHOTOS of all the mail coming to you in regular envelopes!! (not packages) I already have an account with the Postal Service, so I just went in and activated the Informed Delivery option last Friday, and guess what??? Today I got an email showing me what's coming, and my check from Strategic Reflections will be here today!! So neat! So for those of us who do shops for companies that pay by check, if the company says "the check's in the mail", at least now we can see it the day it will arrive. If it never shows up, we can at least let the MSC know we have Informed Delivery and that it never showed up. Just another tool....easy and helpful, so I wanted to pass it on!
