Years ago, I converted to automatic billing on virtually all our bills. All those utilities can use your checking account numbers to automatically debit your bank accounts with very little risk. Note that the numbers they use to do that automatic billing are the same numbers visible on every check you write anyway so it is all visible with every check you write.
That said, the post office has been slow lately. I sent a two-day Priority Mail package last month that took eight days to arrive and there were no weather problems between here and the destination during that time.
