In an effort to increase revenue, the US Postal Service is turning to advertisers, urging them to fill your mailbox with more "junk".
The Postal Service says it hopes to help ease its cash crunch through more direct-mail advertising. Right now, nearly half of all mail delivered in the US is advertising. However, the Postal Service says it could generate more than a billion dollars through an increase in the amount of ads they deliver to your mail box.
