The convenience of holding your mail!

The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers a service called "Hold Mail" that allows you to temporarily suspend mail delivery to your address while you're away. Here's how to do it:

Online:

1. Go to the USPS website (usps.com).
2. Click on "Manage Your Mail" and then "Hold Mail".
3. Sign in to your USPS account or create one if you don't have one.
4. Enter your address and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.
5. Confirm your request.

By Phone:

1. Call the USPS Customer Service number at 1-800-275-8777.
2. Tell the representative you'd like to hold your mail and provide your address and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.

In Person:

1. Visit your local post office.
2. Let the postal clerk know you'd like to hold your mail and provide your address and the dates you'd like to hold your mail.

What happens to your mail:

When you request to hold your mail, the USPS will:

1. Stop delivering mail to your address for the specified period.
2. Hold your mail at the local post office.
3. Keep your mail safe and secure until you're ready to have it delivered again.

Important notes:

• You can hold your mail for up to 30 days.
• You'll need to request to hold your mail at least 3 business days before your desired start date.
• If you're holding your mail for an extended period, you may want to consider having your mail forwarded to a different address.
• Some types of mail, such as packages and certified mail, may not be eligible for hold mail.

By holding your mail, you can ensure that your mail is safe and secure while you're away, and you can pick it up when you return.
