When should med schools receive my LORs? Before Amcas is turned in? If after, how much lag time is there?

I have always been told to not send the LOR's into a school until your AMCAS is complete, or else they will have no file of you in their system. I sent my LOR's before getting some secondaries though and it was no problem. That leads me to beleive that you can send out your LOR's as soon as your AMCAS is verified (ie. little to no lag time)
 
What the best way to send in the LoR's? What service are you guys using if the school does not use the AMCAS option?
 
Main options are snail mail, Interfolio, or VirtualEvals. I personally used snail mail and it seems to have worked fine.
