@SharkE Thank you. We get very little mail anymore but this is a good reminder for those who do-I totally forgot Monday was President's Day.

We only check the mail a few times a week so no problem.

My niece suggested we sign up for free Informed Delivery service from the USPS. The central processing hub emails you each morning the front of the first class mail that will go out that day as well as the front label of any packages. There is no delay in the mail as it gets done electronically as it is being processed.

While we are in FL we also have once weekly forwarding of that week's mai. If there is certified mail, the local Post Office signs for it and forwards it along with that week's package.

It makes being away easier. For some folks, you may not need to make a trip to the mail box ! Hope this helps.

@SharkE Thank you for the reminder. I have been shopping, mostly for little things, using Rakuten to get some good cash back deals.

There are great sales going on and I've been keeping an eye out and among other things just ordered a new mirrored accent chest with bun feet from Overstock and saved over 60 percent off the suggested manufacturer's suggested retail price and free shipping and a little money back as well!

I've been looking for months and finally the right combination of price and cabinet came together.

Refreshing my home a little before spring comes. Have been cleaning and rearranging.

Best wishes for a happy long holiday weekeend to you and to all.

@jlkz

I have that service ( Informed Delivery) and LOVE IT!!!

I can see in my email what's gonna be in the box today....

Now, when it snows or ices over or rains, I don't risk trudging all the way up my long driveway to find only Medicare Advantage Plan solicitations and reminders that my 11 year old SUV warranty is running out!!!

@jlkz that's one of the best things that the Postal Service has done.

So far checking at least once a week is all we do.

Thanks for the reminder @SharkE Now I have to go to the P.O. I have two packages to send out and was planning to do it on Monday. If I can't make it today I will do it tomorrow or use the Kios.

@SharkE Notices about mail delivery are now on the poof list?

Re: No mail

SharkE — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 22:50:48 GMT

If I write anything it gets poofed. My thread just stating that a person in the UK now has covid. all I said, then they deleted it, saying it had become argumentative. That ain't my problem my thread should had stayed up just take down the arguing people posts.

Getting to the point your afraid to post anything and if people start fighting in it then the OP loses their topic. Punish the offenders not the person who just states a news piece that is on the internet and has no opinion and is not looking for a fight.

And anymore it seems the most innocuous post can somehow turn into an argument.

Yep, Informed Delivery is a good service and be forewarned if there's nothing important in the mail just junk,but if your mailbox gets full then USPS will tell you new mail couldnt be delivered because your mailbox was full. Then you have to go to the Post Office to pick it up....So even if its nothing but junkmail still be deligent about picking it up but maybe you wont have to pick it up as often from your mailbox......

Ive even gone online and opted out of mailings from the companies but it hasnt stopped them yet, they keep mailing stuff that just gets shredded and goes in the trash....they are wasting their money 🙄

@Sage04

Same with me 99% of my bills are sent via e-mail. Therefore, I check my mail box once or twice a week.

I agree. Informed delivery is the best thing that post office has ever done.

Same here. We amost never get mail on Mondays. I no longer even check. Takes to Tuesday or Wednesday to make an appearance. We average 4 days a week in which we get any mail. D.C. has the worst mail delivery in the country. I'm in Maryland so it stands for reason, we don't get a lot of mail.

@songbird . We do get mail delivery six days a week. Just a lot of junk.
