Lot's of days with zero mail,even junk mailers are giving up

Weird, lived at this same address for almost 40 years and there has always been something in the box. Looking on my USPS Informed Delivery there is nothing for today either. Don't miss all the junk mailings but it's strange.

BTW, I'm glad the USPS implemented the informed delivery for letters and packages or you might think someone is stealing your mail.

because they have skipped a few days in my neighborhood. And there was a whole section of my city that has been neglected long term.

I’d rather junk mail be sent through e-mail. That way if interested you can save it or use it. And if not you can send it to junk mail on your email account.

Little positives are happening during this mess.

There still are, and always will be, 3 Spectrum junk mails per week in my office mail. I’m sure we’ll have one of their sales weasels back knocking on doors soon, just in a mask.

the same old crap from the week before, $44.99 for X period of time for XYZ services.

If this is what running a business is, successfully (overwhelming consumers w/ the sheer amount of junk mail from a company), then we have something wrong w/ the business environment in this Country, that the only way that they can successfully showcase and offer their services, is to overwhelm consumers everyday w/ their junk mail.

The next time the Charter/Spectrum contract comes up again in our city, I'm going to protest at the number of junk mail pieces they send out as well as keeping prices artificially high, to support their junk mail habit.

They're addicted to it (Spectrum). Why don't instead, they simply just provide a better product instead?
