Post Office takes a picture of your mail. Every piece of letter sized mail.

[Cleisthenes]

I was going to have my mail held for a week due to vacation and I stumbled upon something called "informed delivery" and I signed up for it. Now I get an email that shows a picture of every piece of mail that will be delivered to me that day. For free.

I had no idea the post office photographs every piece of letter sized mail but yet there it it.

Yes, been using it for a good minute

their broke asses should have been taking pictures of their annual budgets ...they can’t manage their primary tasks and core responsibilities........so OF COURSE the USG sees a broader role for them in the human intelligence gathering arena

I use it. It lets me know if I need to rush to the mailbox or just wait until the next day.

Mail sorting is pretty damn incredible with the speed that it’s done (by machines).

They should be charging way more than they do

The inept SOB's should find a new line of work.......I had a racing pigeon sent to me 24 hr express from Terre Haute, In and it took 10 days for them to get the bird to me. I had three more shipped yesterday......gauranteed 6 PM this evening....they haven't let INDY yet..........the USPS suck..

When most every bill is automated and paperless, this option is great. I basically just throw out junk mail once a week unless I see something interesting in the daily email they send.

If they could create a "trash it" button to just dump it before delivery, that'd be awesome. My mail box is 90% junk mail. About 99% junk mail when you exclude **** I ordered online.

My FIL needs to know about this. Old dude watches for the mail like it’s a job.

For some reason when I was a kid I was obsessed with mail. And I was a kid but never got anything. Once there was a bad snow storm when I was in 5th grade and I called the post office just to make sure the mail was still going to come.

Mail is awesome when you're a kid and sucks when you're an adult. I used to wait around for issues of Ranger Rick, Sports Illustrated, and Eastbay. Last piece of mail that I didn't immediately trash was a bill from the IRS for a tax correction I made for 2020.

I guess sometimes I'll get a good pizza coupon or something, but it's usually trash or not something I want to deal with.

It’s a nice feature…no need to walk down a long driveway in the cold if it’s nothing but junk mail

I used to feel that way when it was time for the next issue of Cat Paw.

Not a photo, done by a high speed scanner.

Uh, hope you know what changes have been made and attempted at the ol’ United States Postal Service. There’s a reason Amazon started using their own delivery drivers.

My wife and my mom have both been using that service for a while.

I use the Informed Delivery everyday. No big dewl about the daily mail stuff because I have Mail Slot at my home but Love the package tracking info so no packages sitting on my front porch.

My wife uses the service too. Fairly accurate. She knows when important stuff comes.

Thanks for posting. Just signed up for it. We don't get much in the mail that isn't junk, but this will be nice to have to notify our neighbor who collects our mail when we are away for more than a week.

I was all about EGM, Nintendo Power, and Sports Illustrated (For kids and the adult version).

 

[MegaBlue05]

I use it. As others have said, I see if it’s something important. I live in the country and my mailbox is a good distance from my front door.

If the day’s haul is nothing but junk mail or bills I pay electronically, I let it sit until the next time I feel like walking down there.
