How to stop others mail from coming to my house

A common concern! Here are some steps to help you stop others' mail from coming to your house:

  1. Contact the USPS: Reach out to your local post office or the United States Postal Service (USPS) customer service department to report the issue. They can help you identify the source of the mail and take steps to stop it.
  2. File a complaint: You can file a complaint with the USPS online or by calling their customer service number (1-800-275-8777). Provide as much information as possible, including the sender's name and address, the type of mail, and any relevant dates or times.
  3. Request a "No Forward" order: If you're receiving mail intended for someone else, you can request a "No Forward" order from the USPS. This will prevent the mail from being forwarded to the intended recipient.
  4. Contact the sender: If you know the sender's name and address, you can try contacting them directly to ask them to stop sending mail to your address.
  5. Check with your neighbors: If you suspect that the mail is coming from a neighbor or someone else who has access to your mailbox, you can try talking to them about the issue. They may not be aware that their mail is being sent to your address.
  6. Install a mailbox lock: Consider installing a mailbox lock to prevent unauthorized access to your mailbox. This can help prevent others from depositing mail in your box.
  7. Report suspicious activity: If you notice suspicious activity around your mailbox or see someone attempting to deposit mail in your box, report it to the USPS or local authorities.

Remember to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to ensure your mail remains secure and private.
