Is 1st class mail worth it?

Okay, so, is first-class mail really worth it? That’s the question, right?

Honestly, for me? Yeah, I think it is. I mean, I’ve found first-class mail to be a real lifesaver for a lot of everyday stuff. Like, paying bills, sending birthday cards to my nieces and nephews (and let’s be real, sometimes I’m late!), and all those little things that just pop up.

The thing is, it’s cheap, you know? And that’s a huge relief when you’re on a tight budget, which, let’s face it, is most of the time, right? Why spend more than you have to?

Of course, yeah, I’ll admit… it can be a bit of a gamble with delivery times sometimes. And that can make me seriously anxious when I really need something to arrive quickly. Like, remember that time I sent my passport renewal form via first class a week before my trip?! Let’s just say I wasn’t sleeping too soundly that week! I definitely learned my lesson that day and now I send important documents with priority mail.

But still, for things that aren’t super urgent? Like sending a thank you note, or, say, those coupons your grandma clips and mails to you (bless her heart)? It’s perfect! Why pay extra for speed I don’t even need? I mean, really, do I need my electricity bill to get there tomorrow? I don’t think so.

So yeah, for me, first-class mail definitely earns its keep. Imperfect as it may be, it is cheap and useful.
