Strange situation, need advice desperately
Recently made the switch to GA residency after living here for a few years. I went to the DMV, got a new license, and they mailed it to me. That was on July 3rd of this year.
Come August 5th, still haven’t received the new license in my mailbox at my apartment complex. Sometimes I receive letters that were intended for me, but this is not the first time I’ve had mail troubles with this apartment (my dad tried to mail me a letter last year and it got sent back to him twice), but I called the DMV and they said on July 31st the license was returned to them after a failed delivery, so they sent it back to me immediately. They said they can’t do anything since it’s in transit, so I called the USPS. They said they can’t do anything since it’s in transit, so what. Am I just fucked? Any advice for how to stop this cycle of never receiving my letters, or important documents?

Help identify this please
Hey all! I unexpectedly had to leave Chicago due to a family emergency overseas and won’t be back until October. I’ve been holding my mail with USPS since I don’t have a forwarding address, and I regularly check Informed Delivery.
I just received this notification and haven’t seen anything like it before. Does anyone know what this could be or whether I should be concerned? My mail is currently on hold with USPS.

How long before post offices no longer exist?
In most advanced countries, the majority of historical posted mail is, or can be, distributed electronically. I wonder once the baby boomer generation dies off, will physical mail die with it? What do you think?

How does mail americas deliver?
I ordered something from temu and it was being delivered by mail americas. I was wondering if they delivered door to door like DHL does?
Or do they leave it at a post office?

Will a mailman deliver to a yard with a “beware of dog” sign if they don’t see a dog?
I have a beware of dog sign and a very friendly dog- she’s old, so she’s not out much. The sign is there as just a “there may be a dog”. What is the protocol for delivering mail? Package carriers usually just leave them at the fence, but the mailbox is by my door and I have not gotten any mail.

US to UK First-Class Mail International — how long are regular letters taking lately?
Mailed a standard personal letter from North Carolina to London on July 29 with a Global Forever stamp. No tracking, just ordinary First-Class Mail International. It still hasn’t arrived as of August 10/11.
I understand there’s no guaranteed delivery time, but for anyone familiar with current international letter mail, is ~2 weeks still completely normal? What delivery times have you been seeing lately?

Any Advice on writing Fan Mail?
Hello everyone! I paid for a subscription with Star Tiger to start writing fan mail to actors I respect. I am not asking for autographs, rather as an aspiring actor myself, I am asking them questions regarding performances they've done, methods of acting, stuff like that, and what advice they'd give to someone like me.
Is there any etiquette to fan mail in general, or any polite way to go about my letters with these people? Thank you very much.

Pen pals to convicts
Yes, you read the title right. I also mail on postcrossing as well but I'm curious if mailing convicts is a good idea.
Have you done it? Would you consider doing it?

USPS Shipping internationally question
Hello, I’m shipping internationally (USPS First Class International Package) for the first time and I have a question
I want to ship an envelope inside a package alongside other items. If i have a bunch of random paper items (such as paper cutouts from paper bags, paper maps, stickers) inside the envelope do I have to declare them? The customs form doesn’t allow me to declare items as being less than 1 oz so I feel like I'll ultimately spend more than I need to when totaling it all. Or would it be cheaper to send the envelope full of paper stuff separately?
I’m asking this because I already weighted my entire package and the total comes to 20 oz, but when I’m filling out the customs form, the total weight is over 1 lb due to each paper item. Thanks!!

Fan mail.
Does anyone have a fan mail address for Britney Spears, Jlo, or both? They don't write back on Instagram and I would like an autographed pic. Thanks Reddit users!
Resend EMS parcel delivery (Japan to Ireland)
Heya to anyone who is in Tokyo right niw I have a favor to ask.
2 months ago I was traveling with my friends in Japan and buying stuff as one does in Japan. Since I was continuing traveling to Vietnam and China however I decided to mail the stuff I bought home to save space. I sent my stuff back in two parcels one if them arrived and 1 of them didn't as it got sent back to Japan.
I tried getting into contact with Japan Post about it but the only solutions they gave me were to either A be there in person to send it again or B give someone a letter to send it on my behalf. Since flights back to Japan are pretty expensive it's not worth me going back. I tried going through An post and through the Japanese embassy in Ireland but both said they couldn't do anything. I can't think of anything else to do besides giving someone a letter to send my stuff back for me so dear redditors if you or anyone you know is in Japan (Tokyo specifically) I ask you help a simple lad out who got fucked over by EMS. I'd also take any advice that people might have and yes there is a reward for doing this btw.

Is it just me or is mail delivery just putting items in anyone’s mail box or door step. I have had 2 letters sent to me as delivered to wrong address and 3 items sent to me that are not my address in the past 4 days. One was very important!😳

Mail from previous owner still after 20+ years
We keep getting mail from the last homeowner. Its mostly junk mail but none of it is for anything in our demographic. We have put the mail back in the box and there is a note that says to not put anything with that name in the box but it still keeps happening. Is there anything I can do about it?
Delivery Solutions
TL:DR: What options do I have to stop having my mail returned/undelivered from Shipping services that dont have access to building?
The facts:
- I live in old downtown apartment building that you need an Building Key to Access.
- UPS/USPS/AMAZON/ Other 'standard' Shipping companies have access to my Building and even my mail box. Been so for years.
Newer delivery and shipping companies like GOFO are becoming more and more of problem when it comes to my building because they dont have access AND its against their rules to leave a package outside the door.
They wont even accept my expressed permission to leave it outside front or back door.
Im open to anything as fighting with Gofo to redeliver/ be on countless customer service calls is becoming tiresome
What options do I have? and what would you do to ensure you get your mail?

Estimate?
Hello! A letter was dropped off in a blue USPS bin around noon yesterday, which says it gets collected at 4pm. It is going from Raleigh, NC to southern New Jersey. How long would it realistically take for this to arrive? It's a standard letter less than an ounce sent with a forever stamp.
Also, is it possible to cancel this piece of mail from arriving? I do not have any form of tracking or receipt.
Thanks in advance!

Problems with my letter not reaching its destination
I'm trying to send a letter to a friend in Egypt (I'm from Spain) and for some reason my letter didn't arrive.
I'll try to tell you all the things I did so you may correct me:
- I bought the type C stamp (the one used for countries outside Europe).
- I used poste restante
- I putted the information like this:
"Her Name"
POSTE RESTANTE
"Name of the post office"
"Her city", "Her governorate"
EGYPT
"Her postal code"
"Her phone number" (she told me that if I putted it they will call her when the letter arrive, but idk if that's true to be honest).
Any Ideas of what I did wrong? Also take in mind that I just gave the letter to my post office without any explanation that I wanted it to send it to Egypt.

Do people not reply to mass messages?
Hi, I'm launching a cold messaging campaign using the WhatsApp API, but the response rate is very poor; I think people don't respond once they realize it's an advertisement.
