Coming soon to your mailbox: more 'junk' mail

Posted: Updated:

Your mailbox may be getting a lot more "junk mail" soon.

The New York Times reports the US Postal Service is working to greatly increase its direct-mail advertising customer base.

That means more so-called "junk mail" deliveries to millions of mailboxes - and a lot more revenue for the struggling USPS.

The Times says Postal Service officials estimate increased mail marketing could create more than a billion dollars in new revenue every year.

The report says nearly half of all mail delivered in the US is advertising.
