What does the percent sign on a check mean?
My parents just got their refund check back and it has both their names and below is a percent sign with the name of the person they are staying with. What does this mean? And their main concern is do they need her with them to cash the check, since they learn in the past they both have to be there since both their names are on the check. I hope this isn't too confusing.
What percent of business invoices are still sent via mail? And what percent are paid via paper check?
In one of my former company, invoices were sent by mail due to security reason and with a dedicated factor/service.Because via email with invoice you can know turnover, work, client, contact everything and email is not destroyed and always somewhere on internet or a computer.So even if internet is great, there will have always invoices by mail because internet is not perfect and can't be.
What is the percent of U.S. mail lost in transit?
I’m not sure what you mean by “lost.” Mail that mysteriously vanishes, or simply mail that fails to arrive as it is addressed within a certain timeframe? In any case we are talking about a minuscule portion, way less than one-tenth of one percent.I remember when we remodeled a Post Office where I worked and moved some of the fixtures that had been there for decades. There were a couple letters and postcards from the Eisenhower administration wedged underneath. Occasionally mail is found inside an “empty” mail sack that was in storage. We even had a rubber stamp for mail that was “Found in Supposedly Empty Equipment.”Very little mail is lost in transit because it is all containerized. Occasionally there is an accident involving the truck or plane transporting the mail during which some of the mail gets burned or otherwise destroyed. A minute amount of mail is damaged during mail processing when it is run through high-speed machinery, usually due to a nonstandard non-machinable mailpiece accidentally entering the mailstream.Most of the mail that is considered “lost” is in reality delivered to the wrong address. Even then most customers return the misdelivered mail so that it is eventually delivered as addressed. Keep in mind that we deliver on average 509 million pieces of mail each day. Even if only one in a million were “lost” that would still be more than 500 each day.
How to check how much space left for my e-mails in a web based yahoo mail?
I remember after login to yahoo mail, the was a percentage bar that showed how much space your emails are taking off the entire allowed storage. For the last few month I can't find any shortcut or link inside of yahoo mail to see how much space I have left. Does anybody know how to check that? Thanks.
What percentage of mail gets lost by USPS yearly?
Worked at USPS 26 years, been retired awhile, so my recollection is from official in-service talks up to 2010, but I'll give it my best shot since I don't see much else here as far as answers...sorry for the lack of hard data.Depends on what you consider "lost". Extremely small percentage of First Class Mail ends up permanently GONE, meaning accidentally destroyed, stolen or dumped somewhere. Those are the far and few between headline cases.Mis-deliveries (aka LMF or Last Mile Failures) due to employee error hovers around 1%, which is pretty bad. Imagine if 1% of planes crashed, we'd have 100's of air disasters every day. A mail carrier with 500 customers would make around 5 errors every day, which is just unacceptable. USPS handles a huge amount of mail per year, so the 5% answer was ridiculously high. If a carrier continually made 25 mistakes daily on a 500 customer route, they would be terminated from USPS employment. We handle more mail during holiday season than all the rest of the year combined, so a 2% increase in loss with 100% increase in volume is just a poor guess.If by "lost" you mean undeliverable for whatever reason so that the mail piece ends up at a dead letter facility, can't be identified by contents, then less than a tenth of a percent of total mail volume (First Class Mail) a year is actually destroyed because it can't be delivered or returned to sender.
Can we check the emails which we are sending that are landing in the spam folder or inbox?
You can not check how many emails are landing in spam.There are various reasons due to which an emails goes in Spam, and finding one precise reason is tough, however you can test and improvise.If you are sending it to an individual, drop sms to receiver to check their spam folder as well.If you are sending a mass/ marketing mail, you may try doing the below:Create a list of (keep a decent sample size) email ids across all email service providers (gmail, yahoo, rediff, outlook, etc) and do an email blast on the same, check if all the mails are received in inbox. This will give you a rough idea about emails landing in spam.
Does the IRS send refund check first class mail?

Does the USPS check media mail?
Just as a notice, any mail NOT being sent as First Class, Priority or Express Mail can be open for inspection, if need be. It is not just Media mail that is abused, Many times First Class material is sent as a Parcel Post item to save money. Anything caught in cases like this are marked up and sent on postage due for the appropriate postage rate.Media mail abuse was at it’s worst when ebay was at it’s peak 10–15 years ago. Some shippers knowingly offered this service as a cheaper shipping option, and many did so, until the Post Office finally began inspecting many of theses packages.
How safe is it to send cash by U.S. Priority Mail?
I have known a very small percentage of USPS employees who lost their job because of theft, so to minimize that scenario, don't make it look like there's any possibility of cash being inside. Sadly, one of the employees of which I speak, was rifling through obvious birthday cards for children. Remember, this is not a common problem. In 30 years of postal employment, I probably knew 5000-10000 employees. Only 2 were thieves.If you really want to send cash in the mail, use a security envelope that can't be seen through. Of course the mail might be lost, or stolen by someone randomly pilfering mailboxes, but the chances are slim. They're so slim, that my father once mailed me a $50 bill to Switzerland, where it was hand-forwarded it to me in Cairo, Egypt. Yes I got it, because it didn't look obvious.
Sent a letter priority mail and I lost my tracking number how can I find it?
Don’t stress too much about it, because 99.9 percent of time it will be delivered without any problems. But if you must have it, you can ask nicely, the supervisor to look up that day’s report, but only if you can provide the date, time, and which clerk you mailed it with.
