Mail Hold!

Yes, Mail Hold is a service offered by the United States Postal Service (USPS) that allows you to temporarily hold your mail at the post office or a designated location. This service is also known as "Hold Mail" or "Mail Suspension."

Here are some reasons why you might want to use Mail Hold:

  1. Vacation or travel: If you're going out of town, you can hold your mail until you return to prevent accumulation and potential theft.
  2. Moving: If you're moving to a new address, you can hold your mail at the post office until you've settled into your new home.
  3. Home improvement: If you're having work done on your home, you might want to hold your mail to prevent it from getting lost or damaged.
  4. Security: If you're going to be away from your home for an extended period, holding your mail can help prevent identity theft or mail theft.

To use Mail Hold, you can:

  1. Visit your local post office and speak with a postal employee.
  2. Fill out a "Hold Mail" form (PS Form 3914) and provide your name, address, and the dates you want your mail held.
  3. Pay a small fee (currently $1.00 per day, up to a maximum of $30.00 per month).

Keep in mind that Mail Hold only applies to mail delivered by the USPS. It won't affect packages or mail from other carriers, such as UPS or FedEx.

I hope that helps!
