Perhaps they can tell the USPS to not sell the change of address info, including phone numbers. If you do a change of address online you are required to accept they will sell it to every shady marketing company that exists. I actually contacted the USPS regarding the matter and their response was tldr: fuck off, you need to physically fill it the form to disable that.
- 5555624 9y agoAs someone said on HN a month or so ago, do a temporary change of address. The USPS does not sell this data. You can do one for up to six months; so, if you do two consecutively, it's the same as the permanent change of address information, which they sell.

- 5555624 9y agoWhy would a family rebuilding their home do a permanent change of address? If you are rebuilding a home, the USPS could simply hold your mail at the Post Office.
