In all, a useful service and dirt-cheap. Have you priced out the cost to send a letter via the cheapest FedEx option? Or send a response to a wedding invitation? How much do you think your Good Housekeeping subscription would cost if they had to send each month's edition via UPS?
I don't mind the junk mail. Sometimes it's actually entertaining. Usually I just throw it in the trash.

You still send checks by mail? I bought 200 checks well over 10 years ago (still has previous banks before Wells Fargo name on them with same account number) and still have over 180 left. I get ZERO bills (except from Sumter Tax which are also online) in the mail. Virtually EVERYTHING is done online for MANY years. We go to mailbox maybe once every 10 or so days to clean it out unless I ordered from Amazon but even they use their own truck now. If we don't clean it out the postal folks get mad at us.
I wish they knew already that I don't want to be cremated and that Leroy, who lived here before he died 4 years ago, is pushing up daisies somewhere!!
Bottom line though is that without junkmail we'd never get the 1 or 2 letters a year we get because USPS would be out of business.
