I moved a month ago, and I have yet to received any forwarded mail from the U.S. Postal Service. I filled out the Change of Address form well in advance, and even got confirmation at both my old and current addresses. But I haven\u2019t received any forwarded mail at my new place.

Hopefully, the tracking so provided will help trace which black hole my mail is currently disappearing in.<\/p>\n
