We prefer weekly for ours. We also like to know it will be here usually on Wednesday, occasionally Thursday, so we can plan for our getaway week mail. We have it shipped out on Mondays. To ensure we get it that quickly we have ours sent Priority Mail. That's $3.85 per shipment but sometimes more if we have an unusual of mail or books or something included. The service for weekly shipments by Alternative Resources costs us $228.79 per year, or $4.40 per week. So, most weeks it costs us a total of $4.40 + 3.85 = $8.25. For a year that works out to $429.
Carol, there are some things I want more frequently than once per month. Otherwise monthly would be fine. This probably comes down to what works for each individual.
