USPS cannot find address
Did a search on USPS.com and address cannot be located.
$25 is for overnight Fed-Ex and sm
in my area Fed-Ex is guaranteed by 10:30 a.m.
UPDATE: CARD AND GIFT CARD ARRIVED TODAY FROM TRANSCEND. USPS STINKS...
It tooks what looks like over 2 weeks to get there. It could have been shipped to a third world country is that much time. Shame on USPS. I guess you get what you pay for..even at 41 cents.Yikes. Sorry to my employer.
With JLG, You pay $12/pay period for overnight. nm

Overnight mail
I don't believe the $25 is for overnight - I did it once and I believe I was told within 3 days which was not worth the $25 charge. I live in Florida; am told they actually mail checks out on Thursday, almost without fail have mine with Monday's mail
If they are mailing overnight, then they are using
a service such as Fed-Ex, UPS, etc., or maybe even the postal service. Not cheap by any means.
Overnight mail USPO sm
It is 16.50 to overnight something from my local post office.
It doesn't all happen overnight, but yes,
if Cbay has any say in it, I would bet money that they slowly start sending more and more over to India. That's what they did with Cbay, until eventually they finally laid off all US MTs and editors.
Why would it cost $25 to get a paycheck mailed overnight? sm
I was speaking with someone about becoming an IC with Futurenet Technologies.  They told me if I wanted my paycheck mailed overnight it would cost $25.  Why so much? Normally to mail something overnight is only like $5 or so.  Why $25?  Are they making a profit off of this?  Could someone explain?
Paycheck mailed overnight and cost
You have the choice of having you check mailed, which would take a few days or delivered overnight either via UPS or by DHL for a cost of $25. They do not utilize regular postal express mail so you can go with either of those choices.
Hope this help clarify.
Anything overnight costs bunches. Even if you are paying
a credit card over the telephone it can be as much as 9 to 15 dollars.
Foreclosure doesnt pop up suddenly overnight.Why

True. Plus they have that delineation because they may pay higher for the overnight shifts.

No DD offered in July ག, wanted $25 each check to overnight it.

Never offered Direct Deposit, only an agreement to pay $25 per check for overnight deposit.  No work or low work through training, try to find someone to set you up with reports to type 1-3 jobs at a time, this could last for months.  Lots of ESLs as I have said before.  I only have experience with one account with 3 hospitals that still used WP5.1, and two accounts that were done in Word. All of these five hospitals had ESLs who slurred, rushed, mumbled, plenty of background noise on the unit while Doc was dictating, drowning him out.  QA read every report and seemed to have no problem filling in blanks, but very rarely sent copies so I could try to make out what the Doc might be saying.  Some people who answered phones on weekends and should have been able to get tech to help, or get someone in QA to help, were rather touchy and crabby, and quick to tattle to management if you weren't sweet after 4 hours of computer hell.  If they put an old outdated program on your machine, and your machine won't run with it like they say it should, they seem amazed.  Nobody is really able to help with the WP5.1 program, they're all waiting for the accounts to convert. They like to say it's a family, but to me it was a rather dysfunctional family at that.  


In summary, the two hospital accounts that were done in Word I found impossible to understand the doctors, couldn't make enough lines to pay my bills.  When I asked to try another account, I was given the WP5.1 work, basically the same story, awful dictators, PLUS big problems with the platform. 


Everybody in Work Flow and QA were friendly and kind and supportive.  Jim Pinkerton in Tech is very easy to work with but he has a lot on his plate and can't get to everybody's problems.  The other guys in Tech like I said just couldn't help with the WP5.1 platform.  Harder to get help on the weekend from any aspect, even though a weekend day is required. 


If you are looking for a great job they are out there, I finally did find one that I hope to be with for many years.  Keep your eye out on the Job Seeker's board here, and on MTJobs.com   Don't assume anything, have a list of questions ready when you talk to the recruiter.  And try not to take the first line rate offered, if you're not convinced it is enough for you.  You really can't negotiate it after you accept the job, you have to do it before you agree.
