LANSING, Mich. — The United States Postal Service is warning people to be aware of websites offering to help change your address because third-party websites may overcharge you.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service and Better Business Bureau Serving Western Michigan say several third-party sites, including fastaddresschange.com, offer to help customers change their address with the postal service and other companies for a fee.
Several users placed complaints saying they thought they were only paying $1 for the service but were actually charged $39.95.
USPS.com only charges $1.05 for identity verification for an official change of address order.
It's free if you go to your local post office and grab a mover's guide with a change of address card inside.
