For those that didn't know, this complimentary service basically takes a moving-picture show of all your mail (well, about), and can evangelize that to your electronic mail address, so yous know what is coming.

So far, no real complaints, until today.
Today, they sent the e-mail and instead of the pic(s), information technology says: "In that location is a mailpiece for which nosotros do not currently take an paradigm that is included in Today's mail service." Repeated 3 times.

Anyone accept a inkling on why that would be the instance?

I signed up for this quite a while ago too. I'chiliad not sure information technology's actually of much utilise to me though. You can come across what'due south coming simply if it's anything that looks interesting you all the same need to wait for it to be delivered to detect out what it's virtually. I estimate if you're really waiting with bated breath for something it might be useful to know information technology volition be delivered that mean solar day but it seems kind of gimmicky.

I assume that this was something that the mail sorting machines already practise - have pix of mail as it goes through the sorter. So all they needed to do was mate the images to an email address. I promise they didn't spend a lot of money on this project.

Sounds pretty absurd. Information technology could be a fashion to help fight mail theft if you know what should exist in the mailbox each day, though I'm not certain how prevalent mail theft actually is.

I would think information technology would crusade mail service theft perhaps.

Where is this motion picture-taking action taking place? I mean, if I become an electronic mail that shows five pieces of post is supposed to be coming to me on a given day and only 3 come how do I know it simply wasn't delivered vs. stolen? Is it the concluding mile postal carrier taking the pictures?

Can you tell them what to deliver and what to not deliver afterward y'all see pics of it? Near 99% of the mail I go goes straight into the trash because it's all junk.

Information technology's tied to an email business relationship so anyone with the login info should be able to see. In terms of getting the notices, information technology looks like it but accepts the email you lot annals with. But someone with the login could go to usps website and view the past 7 days of mail service.

Where is this pic-taking activity taking place? I mean, if I get an electronic mail that shows five pieces of postal service is supposed to exist coming to me on a given solar day and simply iii come how exercise I know it just wasn't delivered vs. stolen? Is it the terminal mile postal carrier taking the pictures?

I don't know but my guess is that it happens when the mail goes through the sorters. That would be the easiest way to do it.

Tin you tell them what to deliver and what to non deliver after you see pics of it? About 99% of the mail I get goes straight into the trash because information technology'southward all junk.

That would exist awesome, especially come up election time, but, nope, they still must deliver all the crap.

For what information technology is worth, the same day I got the e-mail with that message above, it was just 3 normal messages (bills), so, not sure why they couldn't take a motion-picture show of them.

That would exist crawly, peculiarly come election fourth dimension, merely, nope, they still must deliver all the crap.

For what information technology is worth, the aforementioned day I got the e-post with that message to a higher place, it was but 3 normal letters (bills), and so, non certain why they couldn't have a pic of them.

Diverse reasons, my guess is the volume of snapshots happening (likely during the address scanning procedure) may at times overwhelm the camera? Or information technology's two split systems merely aforementioned conveyor or something and the piece of mail got flipped upside down for the motion picture?

I've seen that occasionally also, never took information technology to really mean anything, but I've never looked at it consistently to get a feel for what is and isn't more than likely to skip out for the photos. I simply ever await when I'm already in there looking for parcel shipments (or really whatever package and whatever Priority Post particular regardless of shape (flat envelope or box). I rarely care what's happening with regular mail, I but grab it when it gets here.

Simply it could be handy to see the recorded mailings when enlightened from home, come across what post might be sitting in that location so you know what's waiting, and what, if anything, needs to be immediately secured by someone y'all know merely honestly I can't imagine many pieces of mail that disquisitional that aren't tracked. I guess new banking concern cards maybe? But more then only practiced to know so if you get abode from out of town and yous don't run into it there, you lot may need to worry (or wait a day or two in all reality).

Tin you tell them what to deliver and what to not deliver after yous see pics of information technology? Almost 99% of the mail I get goes straight into the trash because it's all junk.

That would exist awesome, especially come up election time, only, nope, they still must deliver all the crap.

For what it is worth, the same day I got the electronic mail with that message above, information technology was only 3 normal messages (bills), so, not sure why they couldn't accept a pic of them.

Not going to lie, that would be an epic service. Simply, I'one thousand fairly certain tampering with mail delivery by whatsoever hands would nevertheless exist illegal, other than of form serving equally courier service between the end points.

That's shitty. Ever written report him if you lot had anything actually ruined because of information technology? USPS is great, only individual mail carriers vary. Don't put up with shitty performers on whatever job, report their asses.

Unless... exercise you accept a mailbox or something that kind of requires manhandling the mail to insert it? Considering that would be your fault then.

Pretty certain if at that place's a physical mail box or other mail receptacle, they must place anything that can fit into it (and probably interpreted as anything that can exist made to fit). I'g probably incorrect on that point, only information technology feels right. lol

Unless... practice y'all take a mailbox or something that kind of requires manhandling the mail to insert it? Because that would be your error then.

Pretty certain if there's a physical mail box or other mail receptacle, they must identify annihilation that can fit into it (and probably interpreted as anything that tin can exist made to fit). I'm probably wrong on that betoken, but it feels right. lol

I've got a crappy apartment complex mailbox. This means that if I get a huge weekly flyer, it takes upwardly all available space. If they then effort to put one of my $100 textbooks in there, it requires a sledgehammer, which he seems to savour using. I've had this problem at every apartment I've ever had. They all turn down to just put packages at my door.

Here I can direct the postal service (Can Post) non to evangelize "Junk Mail ". Dollar stores sell agglutinative backed banners that fit on the flat mail service slot that say " No Junk Mail". That does information technology. I only receive mail addressed to a person. And then by and big I know what'southward coming. For parcels, there is a postal service-provided secure belongings bin on the basis floor. Prissy service all round.

Your mailman sucks. I have a standard apartment mailbox, only weekly fliers for local shops just go in a pile outside of them and the mailpeople leave packages outside of my door.

I just learned that the USPS collects meta-data on every unmarried slice of mail delivered. No wonder NSA needs that much storage space.

I've been getting this for a while now but basically become no apply out of information technology. If I was more concerned about mail theft so I'd look at information technology more, but every bit it is, I have to open my postal service anyways so the email only gets deleted. My mail service is locked in a lockbox for our complex.

For it to piece of work, they have to scan every piece of mail to find out if any item piece is addressed to a subscriber. The data mining potential is enormous.
