USPS Includes Junk Mail With Official Correspondence

The USPS operates semi-autonomous from the government and has been doing that for years. I guess anything to make a buck they claim it is to welcome you to the neighborhood.

Congress keeps the USPS screwed up enough they can't make a buck or good decisions on service.

Just think of your recycling bin as your delete key.

Can you name anything Congress runs EXCEPT their own perks and benefits that they have not screwed up? I can not think of anything else.

Something is wrong when about 80% of my mail goes directly to the recycling bin. I already have more address labels than I use.

Many of us have that situation. The "real" mail has been replaced by the internet. I no longer get bank statements, credit card statements, utility bills in the mail. I have two main sources of income and they direct deposit and for the seldom check, even that is deposited with my phone.

I do get the occasional birthday card though.

IIRC, you can opt out of the offers when you sign up for the address change online. In any case, given that there is a small charge for this service, perhaps it's not so bad that commercial advertising picks up some of the cost?

I bet you get more of those each calendar year as time goes by too. The steps to your house are higher...........................................
