Ben.
There's a damn good reason for that. Several years ago there was a rash of
armed robberies of UPS and USPS personnel by criminals trying for an easy
buck.
The Swiss Post delivery folks are happy to accept cash around here and I
never tried any other payment method. But then, I _am_ living in Switzerland,
which is a very peaceful place.
Kind regards,
Alex.
