Any notice from government offices comes this way. And usually the important notices are ones that weren't expected. :(
- ghaff 10y agoFair enough. But if I'm traveling and see I received mail from the IRS or whoever, it's not like there's much I can do about it until I get home. (Yes, I can call someone and ask them to get my mail and tell me what it is but if it's something serious I probably don't want a random neighbor reading it anyway.)
- paulsutter 10y agoIf you got an IRS notice you could call the IRS
- ghaff 10y agoI'm pretty sure it could wait until I got home. If it was that urgent I doubt if they'd have just sent it as a letter.
- james-skemp 10y agoWait. I thought they do use the postal service and want the general public to 'ignore' callers who say they're from the IRS?
- ghaff 10y agoWhat I meant was that I might expect registered mail or something along those lines if something really needed to be dealt with right now. But maybe not. In any case, my basic point was just that there are very few things that show up in your mailbox unexpectedly that can't wait until you come back from a trip.

- tyingq 10y agoCould be good way to dodge registered mail you have to sign for, but don't want to...If you knew the source. The picture of the envelope would give you more info on what it was, who sent it, etc, than the current green slips do.
