The USPS Hold Mail Service!
The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers a convenient service called Hold Mail, which allows you to temporarily suspend mail delivery to your address while you're away. Here's how it works:
Why use Hold Mail?
- Going out of town for an extended period and don't want to accumulate mail?
- Moving to a new address and need to redirect your mail?
- Taking a break from your home and don't want to receive mail?
How to use Hold Mail:
- Online: Visit the USPS website (www.usps.com) and sign in to your account. Click on "Hold Mail" and follow the prompts to schedule your hold.
- Phone: Call the USPS Customer Service number at 1-800-275-8777 and ask to schedule a hold on your mail.
- In-person: Visit your local post office and speak with a postal worker to schedule a hold.
How long can you hold your mail?
You can hold your mail for up to 30 days. If you need to hold your mail for a longer period, you'll need to contact your local post office to make arrangements.
What happens to your mail while it's on hold?
- Your mail will be held at your local post office for the duration of the hold period.
- You can pick up your mail at the post office during business hours.
- If you're unable to pick up your mail, you can have it forwarded to a different address.
Tips and reminders:
- Make sure to schedule your hold at least one business day in advance.
- If you're holding your mail for an extended period, you may want to consider setting up mail forwarding to a different address.
- Don't forget to cancel your hold when you return, so your mail delivery can resume as usual.
By using the USPS Hold Mail Service, you can enjoy a worry-free break from your mail while you're away, and come back to a tidy mailbox when you return!
