If you’re leaving town for Yom Tov, you may want to have your mail placed on hold while you’re away – for both safety and convenience.
The USPS offers this service free from 3-30 days.
You can sign up here until 2:00 a.m on the day you wish to start.
NOTE: When a hold is placed on your mail, it gets placed on the entire address, so if you’re a landlord or a tenant, be sure you both want your mail held.
I have placed my USPS, UPS and FedEx deliveries on hold many times over the years. Not once has any of them worked, my deliveries all continue as if I have never placed them on hold.
