Can i have mail sent somewhere and held for me
Yes, it is possible to have mail sent to a location and held for you. Here are a few ways to do so:
- General Delivery: In the United States, you can have mail sent to a post office using General Delivery. The post office will hold the mail for you to pick up. You'll need to provide your name and a mailing address, and the post office will hold the mail for up to 30 days.
- Hold for Pickup: Many post offices and mail centers offer a "Hold for Pickup" service. You can have mail sent to a specific location, and the recipient will be notified that the mail is available for pickup. The recipient will need to present identification to collect the mail.
- Mail Forwarding: If you're planning to be away from your usual address for an extended period, you can set up mail forwarding with the US Postal Service. Mail will be forwarded to a new address, and you can have it held for pickup at a post office or mail center.
- Package Delivery Services: Companies like UPS and FedEx offer package delivery services that allow you to have packages held at a local facility for pickup. You'll need to provide your name, address, and a pickup code to collect your package.
- Hotel or Business Mailboxes: Some hotels and businesses offer mailboxes or package delivery services. You can have mail sent to the hotel or business, and they'll hold it for you to pick up.
To use any of these services, you'll typically need to provide the following information:
- Your name and address
- The address where you want the mail to be held
- A contact method (e.g., phone number or email) in case the recipient needs to contact you
- Identification (e.g., driver's license or passport) to verify your identity
Keep in mind that some services may have specific requirements or restrictions, so it's a good idea to check with the post office or delivery service before sending mail.
