How do you redirect mail

Redirecting mail, also known as mail forwarding, is the process of having your mail sent to a new address instead of the one listed on your account. Here are the general steps to redirect your mail:

Method 1: USPS Mail Forwarding

  1. Go to the United States Postal Service (USPS) website (www.usps.com) and click on "Mail & Learn" > "Forward Mail" > "Start Forwarding".
  2. Fill out the online form with your current address, the address you want to forward mail to, and the date you want the forwarding to start.
  3. Pay the required fee, which varies depending on the length of time you want the forwarding to last.
  4. Print the confirmation page and keep it for your records.

Method 2: Contact Your Local Post Office

  1. Visit your local post office and speak with a postal clerk.
  2. Provide them with your current address, the address you want to forward mail to, and the date you want the forwarding to start.
  3. Fill out a "Change of Address" form (PS Form 3575) with the clerk's assistance.
  4. Pay the required fee, which varies depending on the length of time you want the forwarding to last.

Method 3: Online Mail Forwarding Services

  1. Choose a reputable online mail forwarding service, such as EarthClassMail, Mail Forwarding, or The UPS Store.
  2. Sign up for an account and provide your current address and the address you want to forward mail to.
  3. Set up your forwarding preferences, including the types of mail you want to forward and the frequency of forwarding.
  4. Pay the required fee, which varies depending on the service and the volume of mail you want to forward.
