Business redirect mail

A common scenario!

When a business relocates to a new address, it's essential to redirect mail to the new location to ensure that important documents, invoices, and communications are not lost or delayed. Here are the steps to redirect mail:

Option 1: Redirect Mail through the Post Office

1. Gather the necessary documents:
   • A completed PS Form 3575 (Change of Address) from the US Postal Service (USPS).
   • Proof of identity (e.g., driver's license, passport).
2. Fill out the form:
   • Provide your old and new addresses.
   • Specify the date you want the redirect to start (e.g., the date of your move).
3. Submit the form:
   • Take the completed form to your local post office or mail it to the USPS.
   • Pay the required fee (currently $1.05 per address).

Option 2: Redirect Mail through a Mail Forwarding Service

1. Choose a mail forwarding service:
   • Companies like EarthClassMail, Mail Forwarding, or The UPS Store offer mail forwarding services.
2. Sign up for the service:
   • Provide your old and new addresses.
   • Specify the type of mail you want to forward (e.g., letters, packages).
3. Set up the redirect:
   • The service will forward your mail to your new address.

Tips and Considerations

• Notify your customers, suppliers, and banks of your new address to ensure they update their records.
• Update your business's online presence, including your website, social media, and directories.
• Consider setting up a temporary mailbox or PO box at your old address to receive mail during the transition period.
• Be aware that some mail forwarding services may have limitations or restrictions on the types of mail they can forward.

By redirecting your mail, you'll ensure a smooth transition to your new business location and minimize the risk of lost or delayed communications.
