How to put your usps mail on hold

You can put your USPS mail on hold for a temporary period of time, known as "Hold Mail," if you're going to be away from your home or office for an extended period. Here's how to do it:

Online:

1. Go to the USPS website (www.usps.com).
2. Click on "Hold Mail" at the top of the page.
3. Sign in to your USPS account or create one if you don't have one.
4. Enter your name, address, and the dates you want to hold your mail (up to 30 days).
5. Review and confirm your request.

By Phone:

1. Call the USPS Customer Service number at 1-800-275-8777.
2. Tell the representative that you'd like to put your mail on hold.
3. Provide your name, address, and the dates you want to hold your mail (up to 30 days).
4. Confirm your request.

In Person:

1. Visit your local post office.
2. Let the postal clerk know that you'd like to put your mail on hold.
3. Provide your name, address, and the dates you want to hold your mail (up to 30 days).
4. Confirm your request.

Note: You can also request to hold your mail at a specific post office, if you're planning to be away from your usual mailing address.

What happens when you put your mail on hold:

• Your mail will be held at the post office for the specified period.
• You can pick up your held mail at the post office during business hours.
• If you're unable to pick up your mail, you can have it forwarded to a different address.

Fees:

• There is no fee to hold your mail for up to 30 days.
• If you need to hold your mail for more than 30 days, you'll need to pay a fee, which varies depending on the post office.

Remember to cancel your hold request when you return to your usual mailing address to ensure that your mail is delivered as usual.
