It is not an official legal edition of the Federal That lets them know that I will pick up whatever is left over when I get back.This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the dailyįederal Register. All it takes is a call to the home PO to change the forward address.Īlso, when I fill out the paper work, I write "Will Pick Up" in the stop forwarding date block. That way I can have mail forwarded to General Delivery at a PO along my return route without having a time limit to get back. I pay for a couple weeks more than I will use and get a refund when I get back. Find out which day of the week your PO forwards your mail and then stop it 7 days before that. I'd suggest stop forward a week before you leave. Maybe explaining to a supervisor that your paying for one Premium package a week is more profitable for them than individually forwarding, at no cost, every piece of mail you get. Since you are the paying customer, I'd hold their feet to the fire on that. You may be talking to the wrong person at the PO. Getting back home within the two weeks?ģ0 days is the hold limit, not two weeks. When is the last day you let the PO "Forward"Ģ. RLM, on the "Premium," my post office told me that they will only "hold" mail for two weeks after a "premium." How do you deal with:ġ. As was stated before, the smaller POs seem to be more willing to accommodate you. There is a spot to check for delivery or pickup of held mail.

For some reason one large USPS facility kept returning all the mail. They were very nice-we had problems with the mail getting to them. Since we are now staying put 2-3 months at a time, we tried the Good Sam Service. We were not at any one place for very long-that worked great. Usually just had a neighbor pick the mail, and then send it to us. We have traveled off and on for the last 6 six yrs. I just prefer my mail be handled as few times as possible and that's the USPS. I've had both RV industry and a Mail Box Etc forwarding service. Altho, I'd respectfully suggest that they might prefer to think of it as just giving better customer service - as opposed to bending the rules. Whether one uses the fee based or free service, TexasRvers is right about the small town, one PO situation. It eliminates mistakes, misdirecting, and delays. It's being able to communicate with the actual person who handles the job at the PO. Now, I have found that there is one important key to USPS premium forwarding. Which is why I don't grip about the cost of Premium forwarding or their handling rules. It cost extra money to handle and send out mail more than once. I'll be the advocate for the PO in that they are trying to make a buck like any other business. So I'm wondering where the 14 day thing comes into play?
