Can you have your mail held

Yes, you can have your mail held at your local post office or delivery point. This is often referred to as "mail hold" or "post office hold." Here's how to do it:

Online

1. Go to the USPS website (www.usps.com) and sign in to your account.
2. Click on "Manage Your Account" and then "Hold Mail."
3. Enter your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
4. Confirm your request.

By Phone

1. Call the USPS Customer Service number at 1-800-275-8777.
2. Tell the representative that you'd like to hold your mail.
3. Provide your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
4. Confirm your request.

In Person

1. Visit your local post office.
2. Let the postal clerk know that you'd like to hold your mail.
3. Provide your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
4. Confirm your request.

How it works

When you request mail hold, the post office will hold your mail at the local post office or delivery point for the specified dates. You can then pick up your mail at your convenience.

Important notes

• Mail hold requests can be made up to 30 days in advance.
• You can only hold mail for a maximum of 30 days.
• If you're going to be away for an extended period, you may want to consider forwarding your mail instead of holding it.
• If you're holding mail for a vacation, you may want to consider setting up a temporary forwarding address to ensure that important mail is delivered to you while you're away.

I hope that helps!
