No this was snail mail, and yes, register.com does it too.  

Namesarecheap put up a link with the mailings, if you want to judge
the contents of this crap for yourself:

        I'm not sure, but I was under the impression that the mailing in
question was via e-mail.  If that's accurate, then the USPS is pretty
much
out of the loop.

        And even if it was a snail-mailing, it's no different than the
deluge of paper junk mail I get from Register.Com all the time.  (And
no,
none of my two-dozen-odd domains are registered with Register.Com.) 

        It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, folks...and every business
that staked its future on the 'net is wearing Milk Bone underwear. 
Small
wonder the advertising tactics are becoming significantly more
aggressive.
