Can you forward a priority mail package

According to the United States Postal Service (USPS) guidelines, Priority Mail packages can be forwarded, but there are some conditions and limitations to consider:

  1. Forwarding is only available for Priority Mail packages: You cannot forward First-Class Mail, Parcel Post, or other types of mail.
  2. The package must be in the USPS system: The package must be in the USPS system and have a valid tracking number.
  3. The sender's address must be updated: The sender's address must be updated to reflect the new forwarding address.
  4. The package must be forwarded within 12 months: The package must be forwarded within 12 months of the original mailing date.
  5. There may be additional fees: There may be additional fees for forwarding a Priority Mail package, which will depend on the weight and size of the package.

To forward a Priority Mail package, you can follow these steps:

  1. Go to the USPS website (www.usps.com) and sign in to your account.
  2. Click on "Manage Your Account" and then "Forwarding" to initiate the forwarding process.
  3. Enter the tracking number of the package you want to forward.
  4. Update the sender's address to reflect the new forwarding address.
  5. Confirm the forwarding request and pay any applicable fees.

Alternatively, you can also contact the USPS customer service number (1-800-275-8777) to request forwarding of a Priority Mail package.

Keep in mind that forwarding a package may delay its delivery, and the recipient may not receive the package as quickly as they would have if it were delivered to the original address.
