Usps forwad mail

The convenience of USPS Forward Mail!

USPS Forward Mail, also known as General Delivery, is a service offered by the United States Postal Service (USPS) that allows you to receive mail and packages at a post office other than your home address. This service is especially useful for individuals who:

1. Are traveling or living abroad and want to receive mail and packages at a US address.
2. Have a temporary or seasonal address and want to receive mail and packages at a more permanent location.
3. Are in the military or have a military address and want to receive mail and packages at a post office near their duty station.

Here's how it works:

1. Choose a post office: Select a post office where you'd like to receive your mail and packages. You can use the USPS Post Office Locator tool to find a post office near you.
2. Fill out the form: Complete the USPS Form 1093, which is available at your chosen post office or online. You'll need to provide your name, address, and any other relevant information.
3. Receive your mail: Mail and packages will be held at the post office for you to pick up. You can receive mail and packages at the post office during business hours.
4. Pick up your mail: When you arrive at the post office, show your ID and sign for your mail and packages.

Some important notes:

• You can only receive mail and packages at a post office for a maximum of 30 days.
• You'll need to pick up your mail and packages within 30 days or they will be returned to the sender.
• Some types of mail, such as packages with hazardous materials or perishable items, may not be accepted for forwarding.
• You can only receive mail and packages at a post office if you have a valid ID and proof of address.

To set up USPS Forward Mail, you can:

• Visit a post office in person and complete the form with a postal employee.
• Complete the form online and print it out, then take it to a post office.
• Contact the post office directly to set up the service over the phone.

Remember to keep your ID and proof of address handy when picking up your mail and packages!
