We have slowly but steadily move most of our utility bills over to online rather than paper bills. This made a lot of sense for us on a few levels. First going to online ebills is eco-friendly, reducing the amount of paper we as individual households consume. Second we generally have internet access where ever we are so the bill comes right into our inbox where we can pay it immediately with a click or two. This is really convenient! Third, we love to travel and quite often on a whim so we don't have to worry about having anyone pick up our mail from our mailbox (rural) or having our mail held. I should note that for use to have our mail held during our last vacation home visit it cost $60. This is no longer a service that Canada Post offers for free! So using ebills ends up saving us money for shorter vacations where all we are expecting are utility bills. We really don't get much in the way of mail anyway as more and more businesses move away from paper billing. Most times we get junk mail, flyers and the weekly newspaper. I've been told that in town if you don't have a mailbox the mail carrier can't deliver to your home which might be one way to deal with that pesky weekly paper!
