How to Practice Cell Phone Etiquette - wikiHow.

Not specific to mailing, of course, but a great common sense look at how to be courteous while using your cell phone.

Take a look, you may see yourself in some of these situations and not even realize how others may be perceiving you as being rude.  I know I have committed some of these “oops” myself, and will work on being more sensitive to those around me.

Congratulations to the DMM Advisory for adding it’s 10,000th subscriber.  You can see how often I post information from this valuable USPS communication resource.

If you were the USPS, wouldn’t an order for 5,000 Priority Mail boxes make your sales people want to follow up?

Postal Affairs Blog Newsletter

Click here to sign up for a monthly recap of the most important Postal Affairs blog items for a given month.

They say that mimicry is the sincerest form of flattery, but I’m still amazed at the slew of “Postal Affairs Blogs” that are popping up.  Most of them are just re-posting USPS output, like the DMM Advisory, word for word-which is most often too much information.  That makes for more a news collection rather than a real blog, with real commentary. Copy and paste is not exactly what a blog is supposed to provide.

This Postal Affairs blog is the original and longest-running Postal Affairs blog out there.  Savvy mailers, mail owners, and vendors know where to get the best, most timely Postal Affairs information possible.  It will be a long time, if ever, that the others out there catch up.

Bookmark, subscribe, comment, and support this blog - don’t settle for an imitation!
