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 do it:

Online:

1. Go to the USPS website (www.usps.com).
2. Click on "Manage Your Mail" and then "Hold Mail."
3. Enter your mailing address and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
4. 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.

In Person:

1. Visit your local post office.
2. Let the postal clerk know you'd like to hold your mail and provide your mailing address and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.

What happens when you hold your mail:

• Your mail will be held at the 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 another address or have it returned to the sender.

Important notes:

• You can hold your mail for up to 30 days.
• If you're holding your mail for an extended period, you may need to provide a forwarding address.
• Some types of mail, such as packages and certified mail, may not be eligible for hold mail service.

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.
