Security Concerns aside. The informed delivery service is great. I've been using it for a little over a year now. They began inserting ads into the Informed Delivery Email. Senders must place some sort of barcode that is then read by the USPS scanner. It's nice to see our postal service trying to close the gap on their (net) loss.
- GavinMcG 8y agoIt would be nicer for Congress to not impose capricious retirement funding requirements, artificially making them look unprofitable.
- SilasX 8y agoRequiring that pensions and other future benefits be funded at their present discounted value is majestically reasonable. The opposite is how you get pension crises.
- wolfgang42 8y agoJust looked this up--it's apparently called "Informed Delivery Interactive Campaigns". They use the example of a mailer advertising an online sale: recipients with Informed Delivery can click on the link right from the USPS dashboard to the sale website. They have a bunch of analytics you can get and the whole thing looks pretty sophisticated. As far as I can tell, this is all free to mailers, at least for the moment. Maybe they're planning on charging for it later. USPS docs here: https://www.usps.com/business/informed-delivery.htm https://www.usps.com/business/informed-delivery.htm
