Hold or Forward Mail

Going away for the holidays?

Your mail can be held at your local Post Office™ from three to 30 days and delivered to your door when you get back.

Here’s how it works…

  • · Submit your hold mail request online and your local Post Office will be notified electronically.
  • · Keep your online confirmation number, so you can change or cancel your request online, too.
  • · Once you’re back, pick up your accumulated mail at the Post Office or your carrier can leave it for you.
