USPS Package Intercept® service lets the sender (or authorized representative) stop delivery or redirect a package, letter, or flat that is not out for delivery or already delivered. Most domestic mailings with a tracking or extra services barcode are eligible for Package Intercept. Retail Senders: You can redirect a shipment back to your address or to a Post Office location as Hold For Pickup. You can only request a Package Intercept online with a USPS.com account. Commercial Senders: You can redirect a shipment back to your address, to a new delivery address, or to a Post Office location as Hold For Pickup via Business Customer Gateway. How It Works: 1. Verify that your shipment is eligible for Package Intercept. 2. If eligible, sign in to or create a USPS.com account to submit your request. 3. Use Retail Package Intercept to request that USPS redirect the shipment back to the original sender, hold it at the destination Post Office location, or hold it at a new Post Office location. 4. After submitting your request, you will be provided an estimated total (intercept fee plus estimated Priority Mail postage, if applicable). 5. If the shipment is intercepted, your credit card will be charged the $19.45 Package Intercept fee plus any applicable postage. 6. Your shipment will be redirected to the location you requested. Payment: All intercepted items are redirected as Priority Mail. Customers must pay the applicable Priority Mail postage, except when the item was originally sent using Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, or First-Class Mail. Customers will not be charged if the shipment was not intercepted. If successfully intercepted, the non-refundable Package Intercept fee is applied to each intercept request.
