If you filed your own change-of-address order with <strong><a href="https://www.usps.com/manage/forward.htm" target="_blank" >USPS</a> </strong>, or assumed the prior owner already had, it's reasonable to expect the catalog to have stopped by now. It usually hasn't, and the reason has less to do with anyone failing to act than with how mail forwarding and catalog mailing lists actually work.</p>
