USPS forwards mail for 12 months, not 30 days (the exception being magazines - you get 60 days for them)
- Someone1234 12y agoI suspect they were thinking of a USPS "hold" (where they keep your mail at the post office for 30 days). As you said, a change of address costs $1 (online, free in-branch) and lasts for 6 months with the ability to extend it for an additional 6 months after that (up to 12 months total).
- aestra 12y agoI just did the whole change of address thing and I don't remember having to ask for an "extension" for the second 6 months, just 12 months for everyone. Looks like I'm right. https://moversguide.usps.com/icoa/mailforwarding/change-of-address?state=coa https://moversguide.usps.com/icoa/mailforwarding/change-of-a... >First-Class Mail®, Priority Mail®, and Express Mail®: All forwarded for 12 months at no charge.
- pavel_lishin 12y agoNope, I was thinking of a change-of-address, and I was just mistaken.
- pavel_lishin 12y agoOh, you're right! And they also don't forward 'spam'! My mistake.
