a service such as Fed-Ex, UPS, etc., or maybe even the postal service. Not cheap by any means.

Overnight mail
I don't believe the $25 is for overnight - I did it once and I believe I was told within 3 days which was not worth the $25 charge. I live in Florida; am told they actually mail checks out on Thursday, almost without fail have mine with Monday's mail
Overnight mail USPO sm
It is 16.50 to overnight something from my local post office.
Overnight with USPS is like 17. UPS gets it there by 1030.
i never had any problem getting my checks from them.
It doesn't all happen overnight, but yes,
if Cbay has any say in it, I would bet money that they slowly start sending more and more over to India. That's what they did with Cbay, until eventually they finally laid off all US MTs and editors.
Why would there be a mailing
to all past MT's? What's that about?
Why would it cost $25 to get a paycheck mailed overnight? sm
I was speaking with someone about becoming an IC with Futurenet Technologies. They told me if I wanted my paycheck mailed overnight it would cost $25. Why so much? Normally to mail something overnight is only like $5 or so. Why $25? Are they making a profit off of this? Could someone explain?
Paycheck mailed overnight and cost
You have the choice of having you check mailed, which would take a few days or delivered overnight either via UPS or by DHL for a cost of $25. They do not utilize regular postal express mail so you can go with either of those choices.
Hope this help clarify.
Anything overnight costs bunches. Even if you are paying
a credit card over the telephone it can be as much as 9 to 15 dollars.
Foreclosure doesnt pop up suddenly overnight.Why

Do you mind e-mailing me also?
I currently work at a hospital, but I have to come back home to work due to my husband's job. I really need a job that is real flexible, because my daughter has special needs.
TIA!
E-Mailing from site
My apologies to you for responding by e-mail. It is late and I hit the first tab.
I totally understand. I had some disturbing e-mails once from someone who did not agree with post I made in the past.
True. Plus they have that delineation because they may pay higher for the overnight shifts.

Anyone mind e-mailing or posting CPL? nm

Ignore it. If they are just basically e-mailing
do not feel compelled to answer an e-mail that has other MT names in it. If it is directed right at you, then answer when you get the chance. Don't feel nailed to the computer.
Now if they are using IM, that is a different story. Instant messenger is control in my honest opinion and as an IC should not be part of the deal.
If you know your accounts in and out you may want to stay and just ignore some of the e-mails that get you hot and bothered.
I also am an IC for an online company that does mass e-mails when there is work to be done, but it is not directed right at me but to all MTs on that particular account. I do not feel the need to answer each and every e-mail unless I am the only addressee. Of course, you may not know if they are blind copying, but just my opinion.
I don't know what kind of mailing system
they are using but it has never gotten to me under 10 days and like I said that's after being mailed late the day of payday. So now when others tell me they mail their paychecks, I either turn down the job or don't even bother testing for the job. I am not in a position to be paid like that. I think that's the case for most people at the moment.
However, I am still looking.
Just like they save on postage by not mailing SM
paystubs anymore. Every little penny they save fills their pockets, not ours.
Would you mind e-mailing me with this info...
if you don't want to post it here? TIA.
Would you mind e-mailing me what the name of the company is?

No DD offered in July ག, wanted $25 each check to overnight it.
Never offered Direct Deposit, only an agreement to pay $25 per check for overnight deposit. No work or low work through training, try to find someone to set you up with reports to type 1-3 jobs at a time, this could last for months. Lots of ESLs as I have said before. I only have experience with one account with 3 hospitals that still used WP5.1, and two accounts that were done in Word. All of these five hospitals had ESLs who slurred, rushed, mumbled, plenty of background noise on the unit while Doc was dictating, drowning him out. QA read every report and seemed to have no problem filling in blanks, but very rarely sent copies so I could try to make out what the Doc might be saying. Some people who answered phones on weekends and should have been able to get tech to help, or get someone in QA to help, were rather touchy and crabby, and quick to tattle to management if you weren't sweet after 4 hours of computer hell. If they put an old outdated program on your machine, and your machine won't run with it like they say it should, they seem amazed. Nobody is really able to help with the WP5.1 program, they're all waiting for the accounts to convert. They like to say it's a family, but to me it was a rather dysfunctional family at that.
In summary, the two hospital accounts that were done in Word I found impossible to understand the doctors, couldn't make enough lines to pay my bills. When I asked to try another account, I was given the WP5.1 work, basically the same story, awful dictators, PLUS big problems with the platform.
Everybody in Work Flow and QA were friendly and kind and supportive. Jim Pinkerton in Tech is very easy to work with but he has a lot on his plate and can't get to everybody's problems. The other guys in Tech like I said just couldn't help with the WP5.1 platform. Harder to get help on the weekend from any aspect, even though a weekend day is required.
If you are looking for a great job they are out there, I finally did find one that I hope to be with for many years. Keep your eye out on the Job Seeker's board here, and on MTJobs.com Don't assume anything, have a list of questions ready when you talk to the recruiter. And try not to take the first line rate offered, if you're not convinced it is enough for you. You really can't negotiate it after you accept the job, you have to do it before you agree.
Higher up PM told me packets mailing out on 9/30.

TJ would you mind e-mailing me I have a few questions I am confused about. I think you can from my f

you are correct :) It is more than typing, there is e-mailing and following up, but oh sooooo worth

If you are an AAMT member, they have a mailing list that corporate sm
members can use two to three times a year.
I don't see ANY MT company names on this list!! Everybody PLEASE start e-mailing.
