The convenience of holding your mail!

The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers a service called "Hold Mail" that allows you to temporarily suspend mail delivery to your address while you're away. Here's how to request a hold on your mail:

Online:

1. Go to the USPS website (www.usps.com).
2. Click on "Hold Mail" under the "Mail & Ship" tab.
3. Enter your mailing address and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
4. Choose the reason for holding your mail (e.g., vacation, moving, etc.).
5. Review and confirm your request.

By Phone:

1. Call the USPS Customer Service number at 1-800-275-8777.
2. Tell the representative you'd like to hold your mail and provide your mailing address and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
3. They'll ask for the reason for holding your mail and confirm your request.

In Person:

1. Visit your local post office.
2. Inform the postal clerk that you'd like to hold your mail and provide your mailing address and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
3. They'll assist you with the request and provide a confirmation number.

What happens when you request a hold on your mail:

• Your mail will be held at the local post office for the specified period.
• You can pick up your held mail at the post office during business hours.
• If you're unable to pick up your mail, you can have it forwarded to a different address or have it returned to the sender.

Important notes:

• You can hold your mail for up to 30 days.
• If you need to hold your mail for a longer period, you'll need to contact the USPS again to request an extension.
• Some types of mail, such as packages and certified mail, may not be eligible for hold mail service.
• If you're holding your mail and then decide to have it forwarded, you'll need to contact the USPS to request forwarding.

By holding your mail, you can ensure that your mail is safe and secure while you're away, and you can pick it up when you return.
