• You can only hold your mail for up to 30 days.
• If you're going to be away for an extended period, you may want to consider forwarding your mail instead of holding it.
• If you're holding your mail, you'll need to pick it up at the post office or have it forwarded to a different address.
• If you're experiencing a mail delivery issue, you may want to contact your local post office or file a complaint with the USPS.

Remember to plan ahead and request your mail hold at least 3 business days before you need it to be held.
