Why redirect your mail?
Redirecting your mail is useful when you're moving to a new address, going on a long trip, or need to forward important documents to a different location. It ensures that your mail reaches you safely and efficiently.
How to redirect your mail:
Option 1: USPS (United States Postal Service) Mail Forwarding
- Go to the USPS website (usps.com) and click on "Mail & Ship" > "Forwarding" > "Start Forwarding".
- Fill out the online form with your current and new addresses, as well as your forwarding preferences (e.g., how long you want to forward your mail).
- Pay the forwarding fee (currently $1.05 per package or $0.65 per piece of mail).
Option 2: Private Mail Forwarding Services
- Research private mail forwarding services, such as EarthClassMail, Mailbox Forwarding, or The UPS Store.
- Sign up for their service and provide your current and new addresses.
- Pay the service fee, which varies depending on the provider and the type of service you choose.
Tips and Considerations:
- Make sure to update your address with the USPS, banks, credit card companies, and other relevant institutions to ensure that your mail is redirected correctly.
- If you're forwarding mail for an extended period, consider using a private mail forwarding service, as they may offer more flexible options and better tracking.
- Be aware that some mail forwarding services may not forward certain types of mail, such as packages or large envelopes.
- Keep in mind that forwarding mail can take some time, so plan ahead and allow for a few days or weeks for your mail to arrive at your new address.
By following these steps, you'll be able to redirect your mail and ensure that your important documents and packages reach you safely and efficiently.
