I also have experienced the same "forwarding" problems. I enter the forwarding information online and pay the $1.00 charge only to have the dates totally ignored on both ends. I speak with the postmaster in my hometown and she treats me like an idiot. Possibly with another postal rate increase they might be able to missmanage my mail even better.
Being a retired business man, I always admire the mentality of the postal service and the New York Thruway Authority, "business is slow so lets increase our rates"
