No, there is delivery service commonly referred to as the post office.
Instead of opening a can of worms, you should look in the mirror and reflect on what type of contract you agreed to. Since you are in finance, would you send all of your AR people to each customer to collect?

No, but I don't expect these people to drive to my office and drop it off personally, they have options of paying online/via mail, etc... The only option I have been given is to hand it over face to face.
I am living in an apartment owned by a man who now lives in Toronto. I have no information about this man other than his name and his numbered holding company which I make my cheque out to. The address I have for the owner is listed as the address which I am renting, as this was his residence. The person that picks up the rent says he works for a property management company on the side, and is a full time accountant for his day job. However the way this gentleman has acted so far makes me think he is actually just working as an agent for the owner, and is not affiliated with any property management company. Again, the only information on this agent I have is his cell phone number, email and name. I have no address to mail any cheque to.
I have offered to drop off cheques after work as well, I am not being unreasonable as I understand it is my duty to pay rent, but if the only option offered for me to pay is to drop of a cheque during my work hours, I don't feel think that is fair.
