The thing that stunned me about mail forwarding in the US is that it's free. There's as little verification here in Canada as in the US, but it's a pretty pricey service (minimum ~$60 depending on length of time) which naturally rate-limits fraud attempts.

Oh it's "Free" in the normal way. In that they sell your new address to marketers. I stopped using it years ago when I moved and then started getting catalogs for what felt like every business out there.
