Yes, you choose the date to have the funds withdrawn. Given the paltry
interest in savings, I paid it on 3/1 just to be done with it.

IMO, the USPS is still one of the best bargains around. Can you take
a letter across town for less than 50¢? Across the country? If they
raised the price of a stamp a dime, I'd still not complain. I use a
half dozen stamp a month at best. My town tax bill and water bill are
the only payments I can think of that I do by check and mail, the
occasional greeting card and yes, sometimes a handwritten letter to
friends. Utilities are on line.
