How to put usps mail delivery on hold
You can put your USPS mail delivery on hold for a temporary period of time, known as a "Hold Mail" request. Here's how to do it:
Online:
- Go to the USPS website (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 (up to 30 days).
- Confirm your request.
By Phone:
- Call the USPS Customer Service number at 1-800-275-8777.
- Tell the representative you'd like to put your mail on hold.
- Provide your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail (up to 30 days).
- Confirm your request.
In Person:
- Visit your local post office.
- Let the postal clerk know you'd like to put your mail on hold.
- Provide your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail (up to 30 days).
- Confirm your request.
Note:
- You can only hold your mail for up to 30 days at a time.
- If you need to hold your mail for a longer period, you'll need to make multiple requests.
- If you're going to be away for an extended period, you may want to consider having your mail forwarded to a different address using the USPS "Forward Mail" service.
- If you're experiencing a mail delivery issue, you may want to contact your local post office or USPS customer service to resolve the issue instead of putting your mail on hold.
Remember to cancel your hold request when you're ready to receive your mail again.
