I'm seeking a mail service that will simply shred/trash any and all snail mail received at my mailing address.
I've been using a friend's home address for years but he's grown tired of dealing with it. Can't blame him. He throws my mail in a box and I pick it up once or twice a year. I shred it all.
Like most people these days, I do all my personal business online and have no need for a snail mail address. However, as we all know, you simply cannot function in our society without an "address". In my case, there is no "there" there. I own no real estate and have no "home base". I've been living full-time in my RV now for 11 years - and loving it!
So, anyone know of such a service? Thx
I don't see the problem here. I believe you want no mail, that's an easy fix. You just have your friend tell his carrier, or write unknown or doesn't live here, on mail addressed to you at that address, and that he doesn't have a forwarding address for you.
The carrier then enters you into the "system" as MLNA or moved left no address. With automation as it is now in the post office, that should stop most mail addressed to you from getting to the carrier. It would be returned to the sender as MLNA, or just recycled if it's bulk mail. What might get through would be returned to sender as MLNA by the regular carrier. A few pieces could still get delivered if the regular is having a bad day, or there's a substitute carrier, but it shouldn't amount to much.
It's probably not that wise to just stop all mail, although what
I described above would do that.
