I don’t think that’s necessarily true. When I filed my change of address/mail forwarding, they sent me an email saying that Informed Delivery was suspended on my old address and then they also sent a letter to the old address which was forwarded to the new address which basically said the same thing.
I guess if you don’t file change of address then they won’t know.
I did file a change address a year ago and yet continued to receive the emails from my previous address. As mentioned in my reply to another comment, I tried unsuccessfully to convince them that this was a problem, and they told me it was my responsibility to also discontinue the emails.
Perhaps they have changed their position in the last year.
I moved two years ago and even then it unsubscribed me from my previous Informed Delivery subscription. I really don't know what the user above is talking about.
I've rarely had poor experiences with USPS, but not too long ago I filed a change of address after a move and... AFAICT, it did nothing. Some crucial pieces of mail got lost (thanks hostile former housemate!) and it resulted in things like health insurance coverage being interrupted.
I don't know if this is the common case, but with big negative impacts, it seems like a possibility worth accounting for.
Same here, moved and now only get informed delivery for my new/current apartment. Considering my mailbox is like a quarter mile away, it's super convenient!
