And here is one from Jessica - the mail to Nancy was sent in July. By the time this runs - July will be just a foggy memory.
This is USPS news that was sent to me by alert US citizen Amy - regarding the new process to change your address. Previously, you could do it online - or go in and fill out a change of address card. You can start the process online - but apparently you will get a QR code and have to take it with proof that you are who you are - and visit a post office.
I tried to find out how it works at their website - but couldn't find anything other than the page to start the process. So - you'll just have to be prepared to jump through different hoops if you need to change your address. We just went through some hoop jumping at our house when our son who lives in Canada tried to change his US address from Tahoe to some place else. I'm not even sure where - maybe to my house. He did mention that the clerk had never done whatever he/she was doing before -- so that was another layer of confusion.
I am totally on board with a system that makes it less likely that someone could fraudulently change an address of someone else. On the other hand - if you are ever caring for someone who can no longer handle their mail - I imagine it's going to get complicated.
I'm not providing any accurate information here -- just a heads up.
I received a tic-tac-toe envelope from Carolyn as well, and the stamp had not been canceled. I added my O, switched addresses(hers was on the back)and took it to the post office to inquire as to whether or not it I needed a fresh stamp. They canceled the ultraviolet line on the back and sent it along. I'm curios to know if she got it, and if she will try to resend it!
ReplyDeleteI did receive it, Mary, and wondered how you managed to resend it without another stamp! I have it on my desk, waiting for inspiration on what I can do to the envelope addressing and stampwise to get it back to you with my 'move' marked.
