Reply to comment by Jfrenchy in Is there a way to request cancellation of the mailed tax refund check and request direct deposit? by lonelierthang0d

We recently moved and our mail forwarding suuuuuuuuucked. I’ve moved several times in the past and the USPS forwarding service was always amazingly fine. Like, I couldn’t understand how it worked so well.

I don’t know what happened in the past decade, but a lot of our mail either got returned or delivered to our old address. Random crap got forwarded. This, of course, included all our junk mail.

Thankfully our tenant was super chill about sending us what arrived, but was a pain for a few weeks.

What happened to the USPS over the last decade is that Louis DeJoy was appointed Postmaster General under the Trump presidency and has been allowed to remain under the Biden administration. He is a former Republican fundraiser, CEO of a private subcontractor of the USPS, and has been pretty openly dismantling the USPS since he took the reigns.

I mean, Biden did what he could. The board of directors doesn't seem to want to get rid of him.

Replacing him should be a bigger priority and he should be getting a lot more attention and criticism. The USPS has suffered significantly.

He tried to throw the election by ruining mail-in voting. I don't understand why treason isn't still a crime.

I'm still getting shit for the former owners of our house a year and a half later. I was calling their son to come pick it up occasionally, but I'm pretty sick of it at this point.

I mean, by now, it’s on the homeowner to have changed addresses on accounts. Junk mail you can’t do much about, but I’m surprised how quickly most junk senders updated our address. They were more efficient than the USPS.
