Cheque gets mailed September 23 2011 from Etobicoke and we receive it October 26 2011. Mail man says phone and complain as we are backed up from strike. I think they are doing this on purpose for being forced back to work. BRUTAL I wish everyone would do direct deposit and forget the mail and see how they like it.:mad:
 
We are having the same problem. Went in the mail September 28th (post marked) showed up October 20. Friggin Joke. They don't seem to realize they are going the way of the buggy whip. Only a matter of time.
 
We mailed a pod and invoice to a company around that same time and 3 weeks later, they had not received it. I think they think we are full of it... Yet somehow all our utility bills and tax bills etc have no trouble getting to us quickly...hmmm

Thankfully the POD's and Invoices can be submitted by email - save a stamp (and the frustration)!! Nothing worse then getting this documentation out promptly and having it 'sorted' for 3 weeks... :mad:

Keep well,

Sure does...but not all companies accept emailed invoices...not quite sure why. The quality of the paperwork sent by email is outstanding.

It has been my experience that if a new customer WILL NOT accept emailed invoices - there is going to be a payment issue. They seem to go hand in hand.

I don't give new customers the option of saying "no" to emailed invoices. I tell them right off the bat we are implementing a "paperless" policy where possible and the billing department is one area we are targeting. If they fight me on it and insist on mailed copies - I tell them fine...BUT...day 1 on their net 30 credit allowance starts on the emailed date - not the mailed copy date. And their mailed copy would be sent out within a week or so to follow up the emailed copy.

So there is no getting around using Canada Post as an excuse for late invoices and late payments.

We are living and working in an electronic era - plain & simple....
 
Chica,

Originals - Not sure why... I only request originals if I want to check for liquid paper or PARS/PAPS sticker coverage.

Email saves stamps, paper and can easily be saved in our system instead of scanning in paperwork for long term storage.

Just makes sense (not to mention it saves time) to email.

Note: We much prefer email.

Keep well,

Mike
 
I much prefer email too. It saves stamps, time in the mail, paper, printer ink...the list goes on. But we have a handful of customers (never a payment issue) that still don't accept email. Like I said, not sure why...can't see a reason because double brokering is not an issue with us, that's for sure! Possible they have had quite a bit of fraudsters in the past and just made a general rule?
 
we also refuse to send originals by mail. In my experience it's a stall tactic used by customers to lengthen the payment process.
