Default Temp vs permanent change of address
We have our mail forwarded with the free service. I really wasn't sure what the extra cost service bought - it seemed expensive considering you could get it for free and we get it more than once a week also. Our Mags get delivered for about 2 mts I think some seem longer and I try to have the address changed but its a pain finding how to do that for each magazine. Some mail that indicates DO not forward is not sent but I figure that out soon enough and have it resent if I need it. I do almost all our payments by auto pay from a CC or bank account so that eliminates a lot of worry.

Since we are here about 6 mts +/_ I wasn't sure if I should indicate a temp change of address (good for 6 mts then renew if I needed ) or permanent. I choose permanent this time and found out the Postal service sent a notice to everyone who sends me mail (banks. Mutual funds, stock, you name it ) that I have moved and now my permanent address is in Fl for most of this mail - which I didn't want. So now I will have to do another permanent change of address when I return to NY. Oh Well it could be worst!
