Can anyone tell me the benefit of the Premium Service? Are there things that won't send via the free forwarding? Does the Temporary Address change necessary for the free service cause other headaches? Thanks in advance for your help!
1. Sign up for “Informed Delivery” online at USPS.COM.
2. Get all the apps for your mail senders and enroll in paperless statements.
3. For the short time period, can you have a friend pick up your mail and bulk mail the important items and trash the unimportant each week. Even UPS or FEDEX will be cheaper than $24/week
