Mail Usps Home Address Service United Time Understanding

The United States Postal Service (USPS) delivers mail to every home and business in the United States. USPS offers special services that help people and businesses receive their mail more "conveniently" (easily and usefully).

One of these services is "Hold Mail Service." If you are going on vacation or will be away from your home for a short period of time, USPS will "hold" your mail. This means that USPS will keep your mail at the post office and not leave it at your home while you are gone. The "advantage" (good thing) about this service is that it keeps your mail safe. You can "request" (ask for) Hold Mail Service at the post office or online, telling USPS on which dates it should start and stop holding mail for you.

Another service is "Premium Forwarding Service." If you are going to be away from your home for a period of time, but you would like to receive your mail while you are gone, USPS will "forward" your mail from your "permanent" or regular address to your "temporary" address. Mail is sent to your temporary address once a week until you "cancel" or stop using the service.

USPS also offers a "Change of Address Service." When you move in the United States, you will need to fill out a change-of-address "form" or a document with spaces for your current address, the address that you are moving to, and the date when you are moving. For several weeks after your move, if people send mail to you at your old address, it will automatically be forwarded to your new address. After that time, any mail sent to you at your old address is returned to the sender with a yellow sticker that shows your new address.
