You're looking to request a stop on your mail delivery from the United States Postal Service (USPS). Here's a step-by-step guide to help you with that:

Why request a stop on mail delivery?

You may want to request a stop on your mail delivery if:

You're going out of town for an extended period and don't want to receive mail at your current address.
You're moving to a new address and want to stop receiving mail at your old address.
You're experiencing issues with mail theft or unwanted mail at your current address.

How to request a stop on mail delivery:

Online: Visit the USPS website (usps.com) and click on "Hold Mail" under the "Mail & Ship" tab. Fill out the online form with your name, address, and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
Phone: Call the USPS Customer Service number at 1-800-275-8777 (1-800-ASK-USPS) and follow the prompts to request a hold on your mail.
In-person: Visit your local post office and speak with a postal employee. They'll be happy to help you with the request.

What information do you need to provide?

To request a stop on your mail delivery, you'll need to provide the following information:

Your name
Your current address
The dates you'd like to hold your mail (start and end dates)
Your reason for requesting a hold (optional)

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 request an extension.

What happens to your held mail?

When you request a stop on your mail delivery, your mail will be held at your local post office for the specified period. You can pick up your held mail at the post office during business hours. If you're unable to pick up your mail, you can have it forwarded to a new address or have it returned to the sender.

That's it! By following these steps, you can request a stop on your mail delivery from the USPS.
