getting your mail while moving around

Good one monkey44!!!!! To me having some mail service handle your mail is just asking for trouble. I mean, its not like those folks are paid $25.00 an hour. I am sure they will hire anyone at those places.

It would be like if there was a rash of break-ins around your neighborhood and you decided to put a lock on your screen door to keep from being victimized.

You just insult a large number of people who work very hard and do a good job. And you base it on what? No, they don't hire just anyone, at least Escapees doesn't. Of course we've only been using Escapees for 8 years and they have only been in business for something like 30 yrs, so obviously they are a fly by night outfit.

And no one has ever heard of a US Post Office mail carrier who mishandled mail?

So they have been around for 30 years, the USPS has been around for just under 239 years and they still have employees arrested for ripping off mail.

It is just my opinion that you are less secure by allowing two groups to handle your mail (USPS and Paid Mail Service).

It is also my opinion that most full timers travel to S. Dakota or some other state and sign up for mail services and transfer their RV registrations there because it is much cheaper than paying their annual RV registration fees in their home states. It usually has nothing to do with not wanting to be a burden on their children or other family members by asking them to help with mail.

Everyone has to make their own decisions on how to handle a lot of different issues when full timing. What works for some just doesn't work for others.
