• You can also request that your mail be held at the post office for pickup or have it forwarded to a different address.
• If you're stopping mail delivery due to a move, you'll need to update your address with the USPS and your other mail carriers (e.g., UPS, FedEx).
• If you're stopping mail delivery due to a temporary absence, you may want to consider setting up mail forwarding to ensure important documents and packages are delivered to a trusted individual or a secure location.
