Can i have my po box temporarily forward my mail

Yes, you can temporarily forward your mail from your PO Box to a different address. Here's how:

USPS (United States Postal Service)

  1. Go to your local post office or visit the USPS website (usps.com).
  2. Fill out the "Temporary Forwarding" form (PS Form 3914) with the following information:
    • Your current PO Box address
    • The temporary address where you want your mail forwarded
    • The date range for which you want the forwarding to occur (e.g., 1 month, 3 months, etc.)
  3. Pay the temporary forwarding fee, which is currently $1.05 for 1-3 months, $2.10 for 4-6 months, and $3.15 for 7-12 months.
  4. Submit the form and pay the fee at your local post office.

Note: You can also request temporary forwarding online through the USPS website, but you'll need to visit a post office to pay the fee and pick up your mail.

Private Mailbox Services

If you rent a PO Box from a private mailbox service, such as a UPS Store or Mailboxes Etc., you may need to contact them directly to request temporary forwarding. They may have their own procedures and fees for forwarding mail.

Important: Keep in mind that temporary forwarding is only available for a limited time, and you'll need to set up a new forwarding address or update your PO Box information when the temporary forwarding period ends.
