I too always hated paying bills manually but finally stopped and went to automatic online payments after my mortgage payment twice arrived late — incurring a late fee of $55 each time — even though I'd mailed my checks two weeks in advance of the due dates.
Charlottesville, Virginia, where I live, has been plagued by undelivered/late mail for many years, to the extent U.S. Senator John Warner personally intervened on several occasions to try to fix it — without success.
After I switched my mortgage payment to automatic withdrawal from my bank account I was so pleased at how frictionless it was that I changed ALL my monthly check payments — Comcast Internet+XfinityTV/AT&T/electricity/water/trash pickup — to automatic credit card payments.
So much better now, plus I no longer need to buy stamps on a regular basis.
