> How will someone from Canada send mail to a US address? Can't the USPS translates it when it hits their jurisdiction? The Canadian post isn't delivering mail in the US. The USPS is. > We had a scale, and a price list. If you're selling on Amazon, replace your price list with typing the address into Amazon and receiving a response. If you're selling on your own, you can collect traditional addresses and use those. > While in Hawaii, we still want to use Amazon. But our son, who lives next door, will handle any bills or other things. So we want to change the address for Amazon ONLY. > How do we do that? I can't just update the USPS address because everything will be routed to Hawaii, which I don't want. > Nor can I tell USPS that when Amazon sends to special code XYZ then to instead ship to an address in Hilo. Sounds like in that case the proposed system is as bad as what we currently have--you still have to update things on a mailer-by-mailer basis. That's annoying, but it's exactly the same as what we have right now. In some cases this is not an improvement, and in other cases it's better so... > You don't have to be "clear", only accept that it's true. No, I have to accept that it should be true. If it's an anachronism of days past, losing it is good. Even if it's not, it's not a given that the tradeoff isn't very much worth it. > How do I change an alias? Do I go online? What if it's been 10 years and I've forgotten the account details? Do I go to the post office to get access again? Can my spouse change the information? Can I designate someone else, like my lawyer, to change it? How safe is it from identity fraud? What is the legal method of recovering from fraud? We currently have mail forwarding. Copy that and streamline it. > What level of privacy will there be on the alias? Can companies share or sell the information? Can the alias-to-physical address be subpoenad? Is the subpoena filed in state or federal court? Does the other side get to file an objection before that information is released? Yup. It will take time to nail down all the details of how this would work. I'm certainly not arguing against that, so I'm not sure what this whole thread is about at this point.
