## Why scheduling matters

Life and billing cycles don’t always line up. Now you can set it and forget it—schedule a rent check before a trip, time an invoice payment for month‑end, or space out vendor payments. We’ll queue and mail it for you on the date you choose.

## How it works

1. At checkout, pick your **Target Arrival Date** using the calendar.
2. Choose a **Delivery Method** that fits your timing and budget.
3. Optionally **Enable Tracking** to add a tracking number and signature requirement for higher assurance deliveries.
4. We handle printing, mailing, and status updates. You can cancel or reissue before it’s deposited.

## Choose speed when you need it

- **Express:** Fastest USPS option with guaranteed timelines in most areas. Great when a deadline is immovable. [USPS Priority Mail Express](https://www.usps.com/ship/priority-mail-express.htm)
- **Priority:** Reliable **2–3 business days** with tracking included. [USPS Priority Mail](https://www.usps.com/ship/priority-mail.htm)
- **First‑Class:** Affordable everyday delivery, typically **1–5 days**. [USPS First‑Class Mail](https://www.usps.com/ship/first-class-mail.htm)

When you schedule a check for a future date, we’ll prepare it to mail on that date. If you need it there sooner, choose Express or Priority and set the target arrival accordingly.
