According to the USPS, you could also request another permanent change of address from your "new" address back to your "old" one when you're ready to go back. It also comes with some other considerations (see above). Despite the permanent sounding nature of this, this is also temporary (one more year), and you cannot renew this forwarding to your "new" address. Request a permanent change of address to your "new" address.However, there are a few strategies to continue having your mail forwarded.
#Ups mail forward for free#
If your forwarding request ends before you attempt to edit it, it will be expired, and you will have to put in a new request, either for free on paper or for another dollar online. If you initially set up your temporary forwarding request online, it is easy to adjust your initial request without filing a new request.
If your initial request was on paper, you will have to mail in a new request for free to do this or file a new online or phone request for a dollar. You can extend this after your initial request up to one year (12 months). When you initially set it up, you can arrange for mail to be forwarded for up to six months. If you aren't going to be around for a period of time of fewer than two weeks, then you should request that your local post office hold your mail. This is because it will take some time to set up your forwarded mail in their system and have it begin forwarding to you otherwise, your forwarded mail would arrive at your new temporary address after you have already left it. You must forward mail for a minimum of 14 days. Mail will be disposed of (hopefully securely, but I don't know), and the sender will be informed of your forwarding address.
Mail with "Change Service Requested" - This mail will not be forwarded either. However, if your change of address is temporary, this is forwarded, and no notice of the new temporary address is provided. So this mail will not be forwarded, and the post office will inform them of your forwarding address. Senders of this mail, often bank statements, some bills, etc., want to know that you are at the address they have, and if you are not, they want to know. Mail with "Return Service Requested" or "Do Not Forward" **unless a temporary change of address is requested** - Mail with these requests, even if first class, will be returned to the sender since that is what these requests are requesting. Mail not addressed to you - "Current resident," etc. Other non-first class mail - For example, non-profit mail, presorted standard mail, bulk mail, etc. Magazines and 2nd-class mail after 60 days. Further, the carrier will just simply not have the time to sort through the mail to try to find your mail. TL DR: Long story short, you can try to forward from a UPS store mailbox, but it’s not a service we offer and it probably won’t work. The only thing I had time for was to sort the parcels to make sure all the UPS store parcels were delivered to the UPS store, and that no other parcels were accidentally delivered to the UPS store. On a given day, I would just walk up behind the counter and offload my mail and parcels in however may trays and tubs it came in, then grab the outgoing mail and parcels, and away I went. On top of that, we are so busy that we don’t have time to sort through all the mail the UPS store would receive. Nor do I know for sure if the forwarding system caught all their mail. This is no guarantee that it will work for you, though. And while it is true that we do not forward business mail, I have had customers put in forwards from there and have it work. I used to have a UPS store on my last route. As such, we cannot and will not forward names from businesses. With all the turnover that happens within businesses, there is just no way the USPS will have the capability to know who works at every company in America. A business could have one employee, or it could have 10,000 employees.
