TIL that the United States Postal Service has about 1,700 employees in Utah who read anything that the automated systems can't read like illegible addresses. About 5 million pieces of mail are read at this location daily. Seasoned employees generally average about 1,600 addresses read per hour. smithsonianmag.com/innova…

How Welsh councils are abdicating responsibility for vulnerable homeless citizens on the basis of unreplied letters to postal addresses. The "Loss of Contact" clause is a deliberate ruse to catch out those with nowhere else to go. Legislation update means English councils can now do the same. thebureauinvestigates.com…

ELI5: How do postal addresses in India actually work?

I've just started doing international postcard exchanges and have sent two postcards to India. Both times the postal addresses seemed more like directions than a specific address i.e: opposite/behind X building, near X circle or similar. They also both had a pin code. This address format is very different from my own country and other countries I have done exchanges to. How does this system work? Genuinely curious as I really want my postcards to arrive :)

Can we talk about Philippine Postal?

I get it, its horrible as fuck. But what can I do? They still have my package.

I more of want to find out your experience? How did you claim your package? How long did it take? Mine came from Thailand via DHL Ecommerce, which was forwarded to PhlPost.

Their facebook page has a zillion shitty comments and they havent replied to my messages. The phone lines keeps getting dropped. This is insane.

How backwards can this be??!?!

For people that went through this and was somehow able to claim their package... can you tell me about your experience?

Postal addresses on public folder contacts will not save

Hello So we're using Exchange 2013 and Outlook 2013 and I have a public folder that I have owner permissions on. Every time I try to add a postal address it accepts the data then I close the contact, open it again and the address has disappeared. This happens on new and existing contacts and I have tried adding them from another version of outlook with a different user and the exact same thing happens. Any idea why? Thanks!

Just learned at my local post office: You can now scan in your own packages with the Automatic Postal Machines!

Yes you can now scan your prepaid packages in.

This is especially useful for those who arrive at the post office lobby after hours or when there's a huge line

  1. Walk up to the Automatic Postal Machine in your post office lobby
  2. Select "other services"
  3. Choose the prepaid scan option
  4. Once you agree to the many warning screens...
  5. You can now scan your package (or type in the tracking number)
  6. Drop it in the bin
  7. Repeat for each package
  8. Click print receipt when you are done - it looks exactly like the receipts they hand you at the counter

Caveat: You may still get boned somehow since the post office doesn't really have evidence that you've submitted your package, so if it's an expensive item where insurance might matter, consider getting it scanned by a human

Also this may not be in your post office just yet

Here is a dusty old article describing this shiny new thing: https://blog.stamps.com/2017/10/19/usps-testing-automated-parcel-drop-stations/

Can you recommend a mail forwarding service which gives you a virtual postal address in Bulgaria to receive parcels there and then forwards them to another country? (Spain in my case)

I am a long time user of bpm-lux.com but unfortunately they do not offer virtual addresses in Bulgaria as of now.

UPDATE I contacted by email Ggbg, Gabio and Gabieli. We'll see...

UPDATE And the results are:

Negative answer: Ggbg.bg (but they were super helpful and told me about Leron.bg), Gabieli

Never answered: Gabco.org

Positive answer: Leron.bg \o/

A postal service where you can buy empty postcards online from all over the world, have your address written with pencils, sends out with local stamps and local stamp cancellation; then Mail to you.

So that you can erase the address and rewrite with other address, sneak your postcards into other’s mailbox, and pretend you have visited the place and kind enough to write a postcard.

Good for hiding, pretending to be travelling while you turn on airplane mode to spend holidays in your own place; or cheating; or you forgot to write postcards; or you want to write inappropriate postcards but too afraid the postman read it.

Give a helping hand to the USPS If every person who voted Democratic in 2016 bought an 11 dollar book of stamps, that would boost the postal service revenue by about 7 billion dollars.

You can help by purchasing stamps online, www.usps.com
