How to get a piece of mail sent to you

To get a piece of mail sent to you, you'll need to provide the sender with your mailing address. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Make sure you have a mailing address: You'll need a valid mailing address to receive mail. This can be your home address, a post office box, or a mailbox rental service.
  2. Get a mailing address: If you don't have a mailing address, you can:
    • Rent a post office box (PO box) from the US Postal Service (USPS) or a private mailbox rental service.
    • Use a mailbox rental service like Mailbox Forwarding or EarthClassMail.
    • Ask a friend or family member if you can use their mailing address temporarily.
  3. Provide your mailing address: Give the sender your mailing address, which should include:
    • Your name
    • Street address or PO box number
    • City
    • State (abbreviated, e.g., CA for California)
    • ZIP code (5-digit code)
    • Optional: apartment or suite number, if applicable
  4. Verify the address: Double-check that the sender has your mailing address correct. You can do this by:
    • Confirming with the sender via phone, email, or text message.
    • Checking your email or online account for any confirmation messages.
  5. Wait for the mail to arrive: Once the sender has your correct mailing address, they'll send the mail to you. You can track the delivery status online or wait for the mail to arrive at your doorstep.
