Change Zip Code Notice For Free

Why did USPS charge me $80 to change my address? The USPS will never charge you $80 to change your address. It costs just $1.10 if you choose to do it online. If you've been charged more than that in the process of changing your address, you've likely paid a third-party website unaffiliated with the Postal Service.

It is the illegal and unauthorized request to change someone's mailing address, without their consent. The way this works is, individuals with bad intentions will complete a USPS change of address without the resident's agreement.

To request an address change, customers can mail or submit in person, at no charge, a Change of Address order at any Post Office. Customers can also submit a Change of Address request on the official website of the Postal Service at www.usps.com.

Usually what happens is a carrier or post master from the office where the package is sent will correct the zip code by looking at the address and even reach out to that particular post office to ensure the package is delivered to the correct address.

Because ZIP Codes are the cornerstone of the U.S. Postal Service's (USPS's) mail distribution system, USPS has long resisted changing them for any reason other than to improve the efficiency of delivery.
