Only if the slackers processing the mail allow it to. Welcome to automation. I know you don't like change but increasingly, the only use for snail mail is to deliver junk mail for some marketer. This provides less in revenue but costs less to process if the right techniques are used. Think back to when plants became more automated and you didn't have 50 people around a table hand sorting and cancelling mail. Should we return to that method so people would have a job? Wasn't that a more time consuming method of processing mail though? Moving mail from Olympia to Tacoma and then back will result in fewer hands touching it, less costs and MORE timely and error free deliveries of your precious junk mail. Service deteriorate?
