Hold my mail delivery
To hold your mail delivery, you can contact the United States Postal Service (USPS) and request a mail hold. Here's how:
Online:
- Go to the USPS website at usps.com.
- Click on "Hold Mail" under the "Manage Your Mail" section.
- Sign in to your USPS account or create one if you don't have one.
- Enter your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
- Confirm your request.
Phone:
- Call the USPS customer service number at 1-800-275-8777.
- Tell the representative that you'd like to hold your mail.
- Provide your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
- Confirm your request.
In Person:
- Visit your local post office.
- Let the postal clerk know that you'd like to hold your mail.
- Provide your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
- Confirm your request.
Note:
- You can hold your mail for up to 30 days.
- You can also request that your mail be held indefinitely, but you'll need to contact the USPS periodically to confirm that you still want to hold your mail.
- If you're going to be away for an extended period, you may want to consider having your mail forwarded to a different address instead of holding it.
