Halt mail delivery

To halt mail delivery, you'll need to contact the United States Postal Service (USPS) or your local post office. Here are the steps:

Option 1: Online

  1. Go to the USPS website (usps.com).
  2. Click on "Hold Mail" under the "Mail & Shipping" section.
  3. Fill out the online form with your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
  4. Review and submit the form.

Option 2: 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 and provide your name and address.
  3. Specify the dates you'd like to hold your mail.

Option 3: In-Person

  1. Visit your local post office.
  2. Inform the postal clerk that you'd like to hold your mail and provide your name and address.
  3. Specify the dates you'd like to hold your mail.

Note: You can also request to hold your mail for a specific period, such as a vacation or a move. If you're moving, you'll need to update your address with the USPS to ensure your mail is forwarded to your new location.

Temporary Suspension of Mail Delivery

If you're experiencing a temporary situation that requires you to halt mail delivery, such as a move or a construction project, you can request a temporary suspension of mail delivery. This will prevent mail from being delivered to your address until you're ready to receive it again.

To request a temporary suspension, you can:

  1. Contact your local post office.
  2. Fill out the "Request for Temporary Suspension of Mail Delivery" form (available at your local post office or online).
  3. Submit the form and provide the dates you'd like to suspend mail delivery.

Remember to update your address with the USPS if you're moving or have a change of address.
