Well, I just signed up. I hope it works, because it will save me a lot of wasted trips to the mailbox to pick up junk mail. I would rather just opt out of USPS mail altogether, but the government won't allow that.

Also, keep in mind that advertisers only expect a 3-4% response on a direct mailing. So if they mail to 1000 people, you and 965 other people are tossing the ad.

I'm curious, What is this alternate method of delivering mail? |

How about FedEx or ups? It seems ridiculous that the Federal Government, via USPS, delivers billions of pieces of junk mail to millions of people, and also uses the same system to deliver official legal documents to people who are required to acknowledge receipt for them. If the IRS or a court sends you a letter through the USPS, then you have been legally notified of the content of that letter. My point is that, I should be able to opt out of USPS, so that anyone who sends me an official document would be notified that they need to deliver the document to me by another method. If I could opt out, then I wouldn't ever need to go to the mailbox and they could remove the mailbox. Have you ever wondered why you don't get junk mail from FedEx or ups? It is because your tax dollars are effectively paying for the delivery of the junk mail. So, you as a taxpayer, have to pay for the delivery of junk mail, and you have go to the mailbox and remove the junk mail, while you check to see if someone has decided to send an official document or notification to you that a court will consider legal notification.

It worked like charm for me. This morning, I received an email containing "images of the letter-sized mail that will be arriving soon." Nothing important today. Thanks again, June. |

Thanks OP and others. I registered yesterday. Today my mailbox contained a solicitation from a financial advisor, and a Harbor Freight catalog. No email notification and my USPS on-line account said that nothing has arrived. So, should this take longer, or is it not working right?
