Additional Tips:

- If you're experiencing issues with mail being forwarded incorrectly or lost, you may want to contact the USPS Customer Service or visit your local post office to resolve the issue.
Remember to keep in mind that stopping mail forwarding may affect any packages or mail that are already in transit.
