there has been a new address for NACO for almost two years now Jay.
It's in Glenn Dale, Md. The post office will only forward things for
so long then they quit. Update your billing address for NACO

Two years? Seems pretty amazing. I wonder what happened to the part
about "telling the customers"?

Of course, this is just one more reason why competent businesses
ALWAYS include a return envelope with their bills. Businesses that
REALLY want to get paid include a *postage-paid* return envelope.

Government agencies that don't care about money (Why should they?
It's "pretend" money to them!), on the other hand, send a single-sheet
billing statement with no perforated part to return, no return
envelope, and change their billing address without adequately
notifying their customers.

you are making a lot of assumptions there.

I once sent a payment to the EAA and got their post office box off by one.
It was returned. I find it hard to believe that the Oshkosh WI post
office doesn't know the organization that brings a half million tourists
to their podunk little town every year.

You're not suggesting that the US post office deliver mail to other
than the addressee are you?

When living in Albuquerque, I once had a letter delivered to me with
only first names, a street address two digits short, and a zip code. I
know people in rural Montana who regularly receive mail from their
last 8 addresses. It's amazing how the post office can find you if
they want to.

Back when I was an active HAM, I had a QSL card arrive simply addressed to
"Jim's shack; Henderson, Texas." They had no idea who it was for, so they
simply delivered it to the first radio HAM they knew. That got it re-
routed to me.

OTOH, back in March I sent an envelope full of checks to the bank (Chase -
not exactly a small bank), in one of their pre-addressed envelopes. It
came back to me last week, marked by the post office as "no such address."
[It was a post office box!] Of course, by now several of the checks have
expired.

I guess the post office just doesn't want to find anyone anymore.
