Yes, if you do it online it's a buck (but I think that's a one time fee?)....it's easier than going to, waiting a little and returning from the post office and you can log on and accomplish this 24x7
we were 'snow bunnies' then 'snow birds' for years....we switched from delivering the handwritten form at the local PO over to the online approach on USPO.com years ago...much easier (and a few times I had forgotten to get to the PO with the form before we took off and the kids had to take in the mail for a couple of weeks)....
We did try the 'weekly bundled delivery' once....problem was that it's slow...at the end of our stay in FL that year we had to ask a neighbor to send us the final 'bundle' that was due to arrive days after we left town
The local US Postal delivery person that serviced our area in Ft Lauderdale was caught throwing undelivered mail down a sewer...she had a second job and needed to be there for 3pm...anything left in her bag at 2:45pm she threw away so she wouldn't be late.....go figure right?
After that we just tried to bypass the USPO as much as possible on bills and checks coming in ....most of our 'non junk' mail is now electronic and bills automatically hit one of our credit cards or a very few are authorized to be deducted from our checking account (like the utilities and life insurance premiums)....this has made life a lot easier, as we do like to travel a lot and we wanted to avoid any late fees. Plus, a nice bonus is that the credit card we use gives us 2% back on everything...(we have enough miles and hotel points accumulated)
