Mail Change can generate a flood of unwanted junk mail at your new address. Each year nearly 90 billion pieces of junk mail is sent to consumers, which far outnumbers first class volume. Thus, most of your paper mail is probably unsolicited advertisements. There is now a way to stop it. The secure way to initiate a mail change online is to select a service such as that offered by Updater.com. Consumers now have a ‘spam filter’ for their paper mail that can eliminate unwanted junk mail. It is also the most efficient way to change a postal address with all contacts you do want to notify of your next move.
How does Updater work?
- They guide you through the online mail change process to help customers make informed decisions
- They send address change notifications on your behalf to the USPS and all businesses, schools, organizations and personal contacts that you select
- They keep you informed of the status of your updates in real time
- They offer a spam filter for paper mail that allows you to block any mailer you don’t want to contact you again.
- They will file opt-out forms on your behalf to get you off marketing lists.
What are other benefits to Updater’s ‘one-stop’ online mail change platform? The U.S. Postal Service only forwards mail. It doesn’t automatically provide your address change to others. Nor would you want it to. Updater.com helps you overcome the limitations of USPS mail forwarding outlined below:
- Newspapers and magazines are forwarded for less than two months
- Mail from colleges, military base addresses, and businesses are not forwarded at all; direct change of address with all mailers is required to continue receiving such mail
- Standard mail and catalogues are not forwarded at all.
By using Updater’s patent-pending “user-controlled management and distribution of user information” system, consumers can take control of their ‘paper in-box’, so to speak. This privacy protection system not only blocks unwanted mail from list-buying marketing companies, but if you should receive unwanted mail you can add it to your customized spam filter. If you continue to receive any unwanted mail, Updater will investigate and stop it.
