Does priority mail get forwarded

Yes, Priority Mail can be forwarded, but there are some conditions and limitations to consider:

  1. Forwarding is only available for domestic Priority Mail: You can forward domestic Priority Mail packages to a new address within the United States. International Priority Mail packages cannot be forwarded.
  2. You must request forwarding: To forward a Priority Mail package, you must contact the post office where the package was originally sent and request forwarding. You'll need to provide the new address and any relevant tracking information.
  3. Forwarding is only available for a limited time: The USPS allows forwarding for a limited time, typically up to 30 days. If the package is not claimed or forwarded within this timeframe, it may be returned to the sender or abandoned.
  4. Additional fees may apply: There may be additional fees for forwarding, such as a forwarding fee and any applicable postage costs.
  5. Tracking information may be affected: When forwarding a Priority Mail package, the tracking information may be updated to reflect the new address. However, the original tracking number may remain the same.

To forward a Priority Mail package, you can:

  1. Contact the post office where the package was originally sent and ask to speak with a customer service representative.
  2. Visit the USPS website and use the "Track & Confirm" tool to locate the package and request forwarding.
  3. Fill out a PS Form 2976-R, "Domestic Mail Forwarding Request," and submit it to the post office.

Remember to check with the post office for specific forwarding requirements and fees, as they may vary depending on the location and circumstances.
