TGIF Everyone!

We are struggling with an issue regarding sending the FastLane
cover sheets and signed certification pages to NSF (U.S. mail
vs courier service).  We received a message from NSF
about a month or so ago requesting that institutions send
the cover sheets via U.S. mail because signing for courier
packages is so time consuming and opening courier packages
is also time consuming and cumbersome.  The point was also
made that, if mailed on the day of the FastLane submission,
there should be no problem with the cover page reaching NSF
within 5 working days.  (Yeah, right!)

Did you get the same message from NSF?
How are you dealing with this?  Are you still sending them
using courier services?  If not, how are you sending them?
