How to stop mail at a house

There are several ways to stop mail from being delivered to a house:

  1. Notify the USPS: You can contact the United States Postal Service (USPS) and request that they stop delivering mail to the house. You can do this by:
    • Visiting the USPS website and filling out the "Hold Mail" form.
    • Calling the USPS customer service number at 1-800-275-8777.
    • Visiting your local post office in person.
  2. Use a "Do Not Forward" request: If you're trying to stop mail from being delivered to a specific person or address, you can use a "Do Not Forward" request. This will prevent the USPS from forwarding mail to the address even if the person moves.
  3. Use a "Return to Sender" request: If you're trying to stop mail from being delivered to a house because the occupants have moved or are no longer living there, you can use a "Return to Sender" request. This will cause the USPS to return the mail to the sender.
  4. Contact the local postmaster: If you're having trouble getting the USPS to stop delivering mail to a house, you can contact the local postmaster and explain the situation. They may be able to help you resolve the issue.
  5. Use a mail forwarding service: If you're trying to stop mail from being delivered to a house because the occupants are no longer living there, you can use a mail forwarding service. These services will forward mail to a new address for a fee.
  6. Contact the homeowner's association (if applicable): If the house is part of a homeowner's association, you can contact the HOA and ask them to notify the USPS to stop delivering mail to the house.
  7. Use a "Vacant" notice: If the house is vacant and you're trying to stop mail from being delivered, you can post a "Vacant" notice on the door or in a visible location. This will alert the USPS that the house is no longer occupied.

Remember to always follow the USPS's guidelines and procedures when requesting that they stop delivering mail to a house.
