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)
- Go to your local post office or visit the USPS website (usps.com).
- 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.)
- 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.
- 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.
