Has anyone else had issues with their mail service recently?

Lots of mail for our previous tenant (which was getting forwarded easily enough before) showing up at our place, with the usual mail dropped in a pile inside the door on weekends (the weekend person doesn't have keys for our mailbox or doesn't care) but the forwarding issue is new..

I believe you can only forward your mail for 6 months, after that it expires, and maybe that's why it's now again being delivered to your mailbox.

In that case it would have been January, not now. Wikipedia says 1 year, I haven't yet found info on usps, even on the page for mail forwarding, and I've gotten mail from addresses I left 2-3 years ago, amazingly enough. I just think that the summer help started and people aren't paying attention :)

The change of address form says 6 months, 2or3 for magazines, none for junk.

However, I still get forwarded (junk) mail on occasion from places I haven't lived in for years--I guess you wouldn't call it a perfect system :)

I think maybe you can also pay extra postage to have mail forwarded...I think that applies to bulk mail.
