Payment by mail in Michigan

**charn** · 05-11-2015, 11:59 PM

For commonly commonly stolen items: catalytic converters, air conditioners and copper wiring. The delay doesn't change my spending plans, but taking the check to a bank is an extra trip, and the mailing expense by the yard is a bite out of scrap prices.

Most major banks have phone Apps that you can deposit a check via a picture, No need to go to the bank to do a deposit.
I have no fix for the mailing expenses being passed on to the customer sorry.

Set up an commercial account and you can get around that.
Where are you located in Michigan?

I hate checks but I know when I get them I have made over $50 which is our cash limit here lol but going to the bank has become a doggie run since I get a sucker and my dog gets a biscuit she likes it and I like the hot tellers to flirt with lol

I was depositing a scrap check a few years back and was talking with the teller. Seems her father was into it and e scrap a well. She was the person who told me to look into computers for scrap.

Metro Detroit. I was mailed a voucher, not a check, so that was a longer trip back to the scrapyard instead of a local bank. The return trips will affect which yard I choose for copper. Starting a commercial account sounds like being a business with paperwork and commercial fees. That's more than I want to put into scrapping.
