forwarding address for vacant properties owners

[Jerrold Stallworth]

Hi all,

I've been sending letters to owners of vacant properties. To make sure the envelopes reach the current owners, the envelopes must be stamped "RETURN SERVICE REQUESTED', by the Post Office. However, either no one at the PO knows what the heck I'm talking about when I ask about this service or they say I must contact the Bulk Mail unit.

If anyone out there has had success getting this part done, please share. I did not realize how goofy the Post Office people are until now.

Jerrold Stallworth,
The correct term is: Address Correction Requested.

Here is a link to the USPS site, with the terms explained:
