Can you hold mail online

Yes, it is possible to hold or temporarily suspend mail delivery online. Here are a few ways to do so:

  1. USPS Hold Mail: The United States Postal Service (USPS) allows you to hold your mail online through their website or mobile app. You can request to hold your mail for a specific period, such as a vacation or business trip, and it will be held at your local post office until you return.
    • To hold your mail online, visit the USPS website (usps.com), click on "Hold Mail" under the "Quick Tools" section, and follow the prompts.
  2. USPS Vacation Hold: Another option is to use the USPS Vacation Hold service, which allows you to hold your mail for up to 30 days. You can request a vacation hold online or by visiting your local post office.
    • To request a vacation hold, visit the USPS website, click on "Hold Mail" under the "Quick Tools" section, and select "Vacation Hold" as the reason for holding your mail.
  3. Local Post Office: You can also visit your local post office in person and request to hold your mail. The post office staff will be able to assist you with holding your mail for a specific period.
  4. Private Mail Forwarding Services: There are also private mail forwarding services that allow you to hold your mail online. These services typically require you to sign up for an account and pay a fee for the service. Some popular options include:

When holding your mail online, make sure to provide the correct address and dates for the hold period to ensure that your mail is properly held and delivered when you return.
