USPS sells this information for mail advertising. If you don't want to be included in that, you can opt out via USPS.
Fill out Form 1500 and drop it by a post office to be removed from ad lists. It's free.

28 0 ReplyA kneecap here, a hobbling there... well USPS, you ain't lookin so hot. Might need to cut your funding. Again.
Why the fuck is DeJoy still there again???
24 0 ReplyWell, the post office is supposed to be self funding.
1 7 ReplyIts a government service, it should be funded by the taxes we already pay
11 0 Reply100%. That is how public services work (for the person you replied to).
2 0 ReplyI'd rather the post office sell ads than our taxes be increased. Government funding ain't free and if the USPS can't support itself financially at least for the most part then it's incredibly vulnerable to privatization and elimination by Republicans.
1 3 ReplyThey don't need to increase taxes, they need to remove the person trying to cripple the USPS and allow it to be properly funded with the billions already collected every year.
1 0 ReplyAs a postal contractor I don't see any evidence of an effort to cripple the USPS from within.

Form 1500 is involving unwanted sexually oriented mail. How does it stop spam? You have to provide specific mailings you want to stop.
11 0 ReplyThat's like the one piece of mail I may actually look at before throwing out.
6 0 ReplyYeah is form 1400 how we sign up for sexually explicit mail?
3 0 ReplyBest I can do is a sexually explicit male, take him or leave him.
