If you file a forwarding with the USPS, won't they forward everything including the few pieces of mail you still want delivered such as perscriptions? Yes I know we can pick them up on the road but the insurance company gives us the best discounts if they're mailed to us.

Unless the rules have changed since I retired several years ago, the answer is no, they will NOT forward everything. First class mail will be forwarded free of charge. Packages will be forwarded "postage due" unless the sender pays first class postage on them. So called "junk" mail WILL NOT be forwarded but the sender may request your forwarding address and begin sending them to your new address. That is where the term "address correction requested" on some mail pieces comes from. Newspapers and most magazines will be forwarded "postage due" for a short time also. The best way to stop "unwanted" mail other than the above posts suggested is to deal with EACH mailer individually because the Post Office MUST deliver the mail as addressed unless a forwarding order is provided. Dealing with each mailer individually can be a frustrating experience to say the least.
