The charge should be $5.00 per individual per month or $13.00 per family per month. Payable up front. Customer decides how long the mail will be forwarded.(Max 12 Mos. same as now. Parcel Post forwarded same as now. I bet after one month 99% of the mail would be addressed directly to the new address. Plus the revenue for the Postal Service would be great and better reflect the cost of forwarding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427238665701917635.post-27696619431916659142009-05-27T19:04:11.752-07:002009-05-27T19:04:11.752-07:00I agree.

People won't pay it, they'll just notify those senders who are important themselves, and we'll be stuck with millions of UTF mail to return to sender. <br /><br />It's just a bad marketing decision to start charging for something that's always been free.
