Butcher shops offer fresh and high-quality meats to their customers. To run a butcher shop very well, you have to work closely with various entities. These include local farmers, distributors, packaging suppliers, and equipment suppliers. You have to make payments to them on time to run your business smoothly. For these payments, you may be using checks. However, the traditional check mailing process can come with a lot of hassles, especially in an urgent situation. To know more, let us go through an imaginary situation.
Ben is a popular butcher shop owner in the town known for selling quality meats. One morning, Ben receives an order from a nearby restaurant for premium cuts of beef, lamb, and chicken for a special weekend event. So, he confirms the order and immediately places orders with his trusted vendors. Ben ordered fresh beef and lamb from a local farmer and chicken from a poultry distributor. He also ordered vacuum-sealed bags to handle the large order from a packaging supplier.
To get the products on time, he wrote checks, put them in envelopes, and rushed to a post office to mail them. However, he had to face certain issues. The checks he mailed to the poultry distributor got delayed in the mail and he held off on shipping the chicken. This delay has put Ben in a tough spot. Now, he has to call every vendor and follow up on the payments. All this stress is distracting Ben from focusing on his business. Finally, he had to cancel the big restaurant order, which could have brought him a lot of profit.

Timely Payments Using Multiple Check Mailing Options

However, when you have to settle vendor payments within 1-3 days, utilizing first-class mail may not be a good idea. So, you may use a check mailing option that is faster and more efficient. Therefore, utilize faster options like priority or express mail in a situation where you need to mail a check within 1-3 business days.

Sometimes, checks have to reach your payee within the next business day. In this urgent situation, you may use overnight check mail. The FedEx overnight U.S. and Canada service is available on the cloud-based platform. You may choose the one you need and make the vendor payments on time using the platform.
Other than mailing checks, you may also use eChecks. Electronic checks or eChecks are the digital alternatives to regular paper checks. So, you may send an eCheck via email or SMS using Zil Money. The platform sends an eCheck in a one-time printable PDF format. This helps your vendor print and deposit them like a regular check.
