card is hard to beat.For 32 cents,a postal worker will come to your home,pick up the card,and deliver it to the person you choose to have it sent to.Do you think a nice hand written post card would be a nice surprise next time you open your mail box ?

    32 cents? When's the last time you mailed a card off?

    once you fill out your exchange of handle card, it is going to the CFS (computer Forwarding equipment) of the Postal service, broken up into zones. for Northern california, that's in Sacramento. the advice is positioned into the equipment and the equipment (that's automatic) is now on the alert. once you mail is going for processing via the MSC (Mail Sorting center) to your diistrict, while the device sees the previous handle, it kicks it out with all the different mail and places it in specific trays to be sent to the CFS, the place the yellow forwarding sticky label is located on it. Inserted lower back into the mail flow, the sticky label 9with the forwarding handle) is study via the device and now sent to the recent handle. Now, the equipment isn't appropriate and issues pass incorrect, that's why the mail service at your previous handle is given a label to positioned on forwarding enjoying cards, to remind them that Joe Smith at 123 important highway has put in a forward. while they see this mail, they do a instruction manual previous to it to CFS, so it may get into the equipment. regularly occurring rules: top notch mail is forwarded for a year. 2d classification Mail (magazines and newspapers) is forwarded for 60 days, with it eventualluy going lower back to the mailer for them to spectacular the handle. third classification mail (the infamous direct mail) is killed on the workplace and discarded (third classification is dealt with in yet in a various way and could not actual mail in into the mailstream as top notch does). Fourth classification (e book golf equipment, documents golf equipment, parcels, media mail, etc) is forwarded for a year, yet you ought to %. up the postage as a remailing. Now, not ALL of you mail gets to you. Any letter bearing the fact handle CORRECTION asked is going to get the forwarding sticky label located onto it and get lower back to the sender to spectacular the handle from previous to new. They pay for that service. that's continually pronounced to recommended those severe mailings (like charges and tax refunds) of your new handle so it may pass the equipment thoroughly. additionally, in case you do too many strikes in a year, it may fairly shrink to rubble the equipment to the element the place the equipment won't settle for any new forwards

    It's faster and more efficient to use e-mail. Government interference is a large part of why the post office is going under. They refuse to let them alter their own rules to make it more efficient.

    How ironic. A person who cannot write properly is advocating using written mail instead of email.

    "why doesn't more people"?????
