Mail hold end date
The "Mail Hold End Date" is a feature offered by the United States Postal Service (USPS) that allows you to temporarily hold your mail at the post office for a specified period of time. Here's how it works:
How to set up a Mail Hold:
- Go to the USPS website and click on "Hold Mail" under the "Tools" section.
- Enter your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail (start and end dates).
- Choose the post office where you'd like to hold your mail.
- Confirm your information and submit the request.
Mail Hold End Date:
The Mail Hold End Date is the date when your mail hold will automatically expire. You can set the end date to a specific date, such as when you'll be returning from a trip or when you'll be moving to a new address.
What happens when the Mail Hold End Date arrives:
When the Mail Hold End Date arrives, your mail will be released to you, and you can pick it up at the post office where you set up the hold. If you're not able to pick up your mail, it will be returned to sender.
Tips and Reminders:
- You can set up a mail hold for up to 30 days.
- You can only set up a mail hold for your own address.
- If you're moving, you'll need to update your address with the USPS before setting up a mail hold.
- If you're going to be away for an extended period, you may want to consider setting up a mail hold and having your mail forwarded to a temporary address.
