Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has proposed a 10-year plan to revamp the United States Postal Service. The ultimate goal? Maximize consistency in delivery schedules while decreasing costs. How will this affect your mail? Well, it probably won't. These new changes will add 1-2 days to the delivery time for long distance First Class mail. If I mailed a check to San Francisco from Greenville, South Carolina it would take 5 days. Why? Air transportation will be reduced in half to shift the focus for on-land travel.
Both Checkeeper and the US Postal Service will be closed for Labor Day on Monday, September 6th. You can still access your Checkeeper account, but any checks submitted for fulfillment on this day will not be printed or mailed until the following day. Please submit checks by Friday 4pm EST, or they will be mailed as usual on Tuesday, September 7th. Thank you!
Checkeeper and the USPS will both be closed for Presidents' Day on Monday, February 15th. You can still access your Checkeeper account, but any checks submitted for fulfillment on this day will not be printed or mailed until the following day. Please submit checks by Friday 4pm EST, or they will be mailed as usual on Tuesday, February 16th. Thank you!
With Christmas Day (and now Christmas Eve) being federal holidays, the United States Postal Service will be closed December 24-25, and so will we. You can still access your Checkeeper account, but any checks submitted for fulfillment will not be printed or mailed on these days. Please submit checks by Wednesday 4pm EST or they will be mailed as usual on Monday, December 28th. Thank you for your continued support, and happy holidays!
The USPS will be closed, we'll be closed, you should be closed too. You can still access your Checkeeper account, but fulfillment services will not happen this day. Please submit checks by Wednesday 4pm EST or they will be mailed as usual on Friday, Nov 27th. Happy Thanksgiving!
We don't do this often, but we figured go big or go home! We're adding more giga-pretzles and internet space-tubes to the flux capacitors, and this means the API will be unreachable for a short period of time. What does this mean for you?The Checkeeper application AND the Checkeeper Partner API will be down for maintenance starting at 10pm EST Wednesday September 30, 2020 for about 60 minutes. The Checkeeper website, program and API will be unreachable during this time. We will not have the ability to queue API requests, unfortunately. Requests will have to be retried after this downtime. But it'll be worth it! Why are we doing this?Continued growth and demand, blah blah blah, but really it started as a conversation between Jeff and Justin. Justin: "Checkeeper is amazingly fast already, how can we be even faster?"Jeff: "Put a little mustard on the servers!"Justin: "Sold!"This isn't very convenient…Is it ever? But progress must happen, and we've picked the least impactful time to do it. We promise not to do this too often, and the results of our upgrade will hold us over for a long time. Thanks for your understanding, The Checkeeper Team
Tank top? ✔️ Flip-flops? ✔️ Charcoal for the grill? ✔️ The Checkeeper offices will be closed Friday, July 3, 2020 to kick off a long-deserved 4th of July holiday weekend. Be sure to submit checks for mailing before July 2, 2020 4:00PM EST to get them out before the weekend.
We don't have much to say about the Coronavirus and its impact on Checkeeper. That's a good thing and we have been lucky. There is a bigger battle going on around the world and that's where we want you to keep your focus and efforts. However we're being asked for confirmation if we are still operating our services and if we are expecting any interruptions. The Checkeeper application and the remote team that supports it will remain functional and available throughout the duration of any quarantines and shelter in place orders. Checkeeper's Print and Mail Services (Fulfillment) remains fully operational and plans to remain operational should "shelter in place" orders be executed in either of our distribution states. Only if the USPS or other mail couriers suspend service would we see an interruption in delivery, however this is unlikely to happen. "The Postal Service delivers much needed medications and Social Security checks, and we are the leading delivery service for online purchases." according to their website. Importantly, the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.html), the World Health Organization (https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses), as well as the Surgeon General have indicated that there is currently no evidence that COVID-19 is being spread through the mail. Everyone, please stay safe, we are thankful for the loyal clients we have and sympathize with all our fellow small businesses.
