My new favorite thing: Informed Delivery by USPS
Anyone who lives east of the river knows that our mail service can be somewhat...sporadic. I can't tell you how many times I've gone a full week without getting mail. Amazon deliveries on a Sunday never happen and if your package has to go through the Anacostia hub then you have my sympathy!
So imagine my amazing surprise to find out that the United States Postal Service has this option to get emails of your upcoming mail deliveries WITH PHOTOS OF YOUR MAIL!
I couldn't believe it but sure enough, the next day I got an email with photographs of my mail and information on my package. The service is amazing and it is free! Sign up today, I highly recommend it!
