USPS has mailed me countless tests and I have thrown them in dustbin. Not sure why taxpayer money is being wasted on this crap. As long as tests are available at reasonable price in the market, only poor people should be getting them from government and even there relying on local city administration is ideal.

This USPS business looks like scam to me.

I don't understand, I thought you had to take initiative to order them? At least that's what I've done... I've never received them unprompted.

I, too, have never received them unprompted. And, at least in my experience, they don’t eventually send them unprompted, because I never requested them and never received them, as I had another source.

I never wanted this tests and never requested them, in fact I have no idea how to tell USPS to send me those. It is possible that is a simple form ? Good chance that either someone entered my address incrorrectly or local USPS has some target they need to meet.

Maximum allotment was 4

You only received them by explicitly filling out and submitting a request form.

> Maximum allotment was 4

I have lost the count already because it is not worth my mental cycles to actually wont them. This is 4 tests one time or several boxes 4 times ?

> You only received them by explicitly filling out and submitting a request form.

Never did such a thing. In fact HN is the first time I am finding out such form exists.
