Legislation would unmask third-party sellers, but Amazon is fighting it

Interesting. I literally never get flyers of any kind in my po box. I used to get them at home but opted out using the usual process.

Weirdly I have the opposite experience using foreign delivery services: my wife buys items from Japan regularly that come DHL and I've never lost one. But I don't use my po box to forward mail, just receive it.

Unless its changed - you can't refuse stuff addressed to 'occupant' like supermarket flyers. You can remove your _name_ from mailing lists, but that wasnt' my issue. So I got a 'PO Box' from a local ups store type place. Now I don't get junk mail.

Maybe the difference is due to my "PO Box" actually being at a store and not an actual Post Office? It's at a local ups store/mailboxes etc. type store, so the Post Office would actually have to forward the mail, not just drop it in a PO Box on premise.
