It finally happened--My first meeting with the US Postal Service 📬
NPF Convention Phoenix, Arizona
This past week the National Postal Forum was held in Phoenix, Arizona. A convention I have been wanting to attend for the past 10 years.
So how did it go?
It was definitely not what I had expected. There were many vendors in attendance but I was only interested in sitting down with USPS decision makers. In one section of the convention floor were USPS executives from Washington DC. You had to make an appointment to speak with them.
I approached the gatekeeper and told her I wanted to speak with someone who is involved with the National Change of Address Platform. She pointed to the address management table. She asked if 3PM would work? I said yes.
So, for 30 minutes I wondered around the convention floor waiting to speak with the Address Management team.
3PM Arrives
I head over to the table. Seated around the table were 3-4 US Postal Service Executives from Washington DC. The very people involved with the National Change of Address platform.
Keep in mind, they were notified in advance that Mass Address, Inc was booked to speak with them before I arrived. This means they probably did a little research on us before I sat at the table.
I began my discussion explaining how their current platform works and how it uses a loophole in the privacy act of 1974 to deliver our changes of address. This said loophole fuels identity theft and allows our nations enemies the ability to track military servicemembers.
For 10-15 minutes I shared fact after fact. 10 years of research.
I kid you not. These people looked at me as if I had just went to the bathroom in the middle of the table. Completely flabbergasted.
They were literally speechless. What little they did say was simply grasping straws to counter my statements. The gentlemen who appeared to be in charge of the program simply could not admit to what I was saying.
He kept saying stuff like they are bound by law and Congress.
I informed them Mass Address is privacy act compliant and is able to deliver a users change of address privately.
Only 1 person reached across the table and gave me their card.
I simply cannot believe these folks reacted the way they did.
The USPS loses over $1 billion a year due to this problem. Other USPS employees I spoke to were ecstatic about the solution and asked me to send in our proposal.
I told them I sent in a proposal 10 years ago and it went ignored. Nonetheless, I will be sending in another proposal.
After this whole situation went down, I thought to myself. Maybe the reason they didn’t seem too excited about Mass Address is because of the large amounts of money they make selling our information.
This tells me that I need to thoroughly drill down into the data and show them that Mass Address can in fact be a cash cow for them while simultaneously delivering privacy for US Postal Customers.
For the investors who recently purchased shares, THANK YOU. You are making the dream of address privacy REAL.
If you have not created your Mass Address, PLEASE go over to www.massaddress.app and register. We need 100 beta users to provide feedback. The time will come when I demo the platform for the USPS and we need to make sure it is perfectly polished.




Great job! I’m sure you gave them plenty to think about. Please keep working at it!
