Usps request mail hold

The USPS (United States Postal Service) allows you to request a mail hold, also known as a "mail hold" or "mail suspension," which temporarily stops mail delivery to your address. Here's how to request a mail hold:

Online:

1. Go to the USPS website (www.usps.com).
2. Click on "Hold Mail" under the "Quick Tools" section.
3. Enter your name, address, and email address.
4. Choose the date range for which you want to hold your mail (up to 30 days).
5. Confirm your request.

By Phone:

1. Call the USPS Customer Service number at 1-800-275-8777.
2. Follow the prompts to request a mail hold.
3. Provide your name, address, and the date range for which you want to hold your mail.

In Person:

1. Visit your local post office.
2. Ask to speak to a postal clerk.
3. Provide your name, address, and the date range for which you want to hold your mail.

Note: You can also request a mail hold by contacting your local post office directly.

What happens when you request a mail hold:

• The USPS will stop delivering mail to your address for the specified date range.
• Any mail received during the hold period will be held at the post office for pickup or forwarding.
• You can pick up your held mail at the post office or have it forwarded to a different address.

Why request a mail hold:

• You're going out of town and don't want mail accumulating at your address.
• You're moving and want to hold your mail until you've set up mail forwarding.
• You're experiencing mail theft or vandalism and want to temporarily stop mail delivery.

Remember to cancel your mail hold when you're ready to resume mail delivery.
