Can mail be rerouted

Yes, mail can be rerouted, but it depends on the type of mail and the circumstances. Here are some scenarios where mail can be rerouted:

  1. Forwarding mail: You can forward your mail to a new address by filling out a change of address form with the United States Postal Service (USPS). This will redirect your mail to your new address for a period of up to 12 months.
  2. Redirecting packages: If you're expecting a package and you're not going to be at your original address, you can contact the sender or the shipping carrier (e.g., UPS, FedEx) to reroute the package to a new address.
  3. Rerouting mail due to a move: If you're moving to a new address, you can fill out a change of address form with the USPS to reroute your mail to your new address.
  4. Rerouting mail due to a name change: If you've changed your name, you can update your name with the USPS and reroute your mail to your new name.
  5. Rerouting mail due to a business closure: If a business is closing, the owner or manager can notify the USPS and reroute mail to a new address or a forwarding service.

However, there are some limitations and considerations:

To reroute mail, you can contact the USPS or the shipping carrier directly, or use online services that specialize in mail forwarding and rerouting.
