Holding mail in Canada! Here's what you need to know:
What is Hold Mail?
Hold Mail is a service offered by Canada Post that allows you to temporarily hold your mail at a post office or a mail forwarding address while you're away from your home or business.
Why would I want to hold my mail?
You might want to hold your mail for various reasons, such as:
- Going on vacation or a trip and don't want to worry about collecting your mail while you're away.
- Moving to a new address and need to hold your mail until you've settled in.
- Having construction or renovations done at your home and don't want your mail to be lost or stolen.
- Being away from your home for an extended period and don't want your mail to pile up.
How do I hold my mail?
To hold your mail, you'll need to:
- Contact your local post office or visit their website to request the Hold Mail service.
- Provide your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
- Choose the type of mail you'd like to hold (e.g., only packages, only letters, or all mail).
- Pay a small fee (currently $1.50 per day, with a maximum of $30 per month).
What happens to my held mail?
Once you've requested the Hold Mail service, your mail will be held at the post office or mail forwarding address you specified. You can then collect your mail at your convenience or have it forwarded to a new address.
Tips and Reminders
- You can hold your mail for up to 30 days, but you can request an extension if needed.
- If you're holding your mail for an extended period, you may want to consider setting up mail forwarding to a new address.
- Be sure to notify your bank, credit card company, and other relevant parties of your changed mail situation to avoid any issues.
That's it! Holding your mail in Canada is a convenient and secure way to manage your mail while you're away.
