The slowdown is simply so that most first class mail which goes by airplane to maintain the old 3-day standard to be having first class delivered anywhere in the Continental to become abandoned (3 day standard) and be allowed to go by truck so we have a new 5-day standard which will save significant money and actually make things more efficient. Most businesses will adapt as they understand the process. Yes it'll take a little more time to get checks and letters but as long as things don't get changed every 5 weeks that is what businesses prefer. Some credit card companies have more than one location to receive money that's called Dropbox banking and I'm sure a few more will now provide additional addresses. Just remember the old excuse the check is always in the mail.
