If the player is pre-registered for a tournament (oh, say, an A-tier in Vermont), they could send a copy of the letter to the TD of that event so he can deliver it to the player when he arrives. That's exactly how Cam Todd was informed of his suspension in 2004.
In this day and age, it would make sense that a copy of the letter be sent via email in addition to being sent by mail (no idea if the PDGA does this or not). Though, per the Ultiworld story, BW says he hasn't checked his email in a while so it's a moot point.
I wonder, if the notification letter were to have been sitting in his email inbox (as well as his physical mailbox) since, say, last Thursday afternoon and he hadn't retrieved it yet, would the PDGA still be considered to have poorly communicated in this whole ordeal?
He said he had not received an email, not that he had not checked it. Sorry if that was not clearly conveyed in the article.
