Take Charge of Your Deliveries The Informed Delivery® Mobile app has features designed to enhance your experience. Simple Ways to Manage Your Mail Standard Forward Mail & Change of Address USPS is taking steps to increase security, combat identity theft, and further protect customers' information. When you submit a change of address request online, you need to take additional steps to verify your identity: Opt in online to receive a verification code or link on your mobile phone OR go to a Post Office™ location with an acceptable photo ID to complete the identity verification process in person. Pay the $1.25 identity verification fee. After your change of address request is approved, you'll get confirmation as well as instant access to valuable coupons provided by third-party retailers in your area. Your change of address request lasts for 12 months, but you can pay to extend it for 6, 12, or 18 more months. Premium Forwarding Mail Taking a long vacation or an out-of-town assignment? For a weekly fee, you can have most mail sent to you each week with Premium Forwarding Service Residential®. The temporary service is available for periods as short as 2 weeks and up to 1 year. USPS Package Intercept With USPS Package Intercept® service, the sender (or authorized representative) can redirect domestic packages, letters, and flats with a tracking or extra services barcode as long as the items have not yet been delivered or released for delivery. Retail Senders can request to have a shipment redirected back to their address or to a Post Office location as Hold For Pickup. Commercial Senders, through Business Customer Gateway, can request to have a shipment redirected back to their address, to a new delivery address, or to a Post Office location as Hold For Pickup. Reserve a PO Box Want to separate home and business mail or keep your address private? Reserving a PO Box™ is a great way to get your mail when and where you want it.

Find one online, complete the application, pay with a credit card, and bring the printed form, your emailed receipt, and two IDs to the Post Office. USPS Hold Mail If you're going out of town for a while, you can submit a USPS Hold Mail® request online and we'll keep your mail safely at your local Post Office until you return. You can schedule the service for a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 30 days in advance of your date or by 2 AM CST (Mon.–Sat.) on the start date. For enhanced security, USPS now requires you to create or sign in to your USPS.com account to verify your identity and current address before submitting a new online USPS Hold Mail request. Hold For Pickup Whether you're shipping from a retail store or printing your own shipping label with postage, you can always elect to Hold For Pickup. Hold For Pickup allows the recipient to collect a package at the local Post Office. Schedule Redelivery Service If we missed you when we tried to deliver your package or mail, you can get it redelivered by making a request online. Use the tracking barcode for your item and schedule Redelivery on a day that's more convenient for you. In select markets, recipients can also schedule Redelivery to a USPS® Smart Locker. If you have your tracking number, you can also schedule Redelivery via USPS Tracking®. USPS Delivery Instructions If your package doesn't fit in your mailbox and you won't be home to receive it, you can provide USPS Delivery Instructions online and authorize your carrier to leave it in a specified location. Just track your package and select "Delivery Instructions." You can request that your package be left with a neighbor or held at a Post Office for pickup. For the cost of additional postage, you can have your package sent to a different domestic address. You can also change your shipping service option, upgrading to Priority Mail Express® service or Priority Mail® service, as well as add insurance and extra services. Service is only available for packages sent domestically. Not available for packages sent to APO/FPO/DPO addresses. Other restrictions may apply.

USPS Package Intercept - Stop Delivery of Letter or Package

USPS Package Intercept For a fee, 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 (you), hold it at the destination Post Office location, or hold it at a new Post Office location. 4. After submitting your request, you'll be provided an estimated total (intercept fee plus estimated postage, if applicable). We will then attempt to intercept and redirect the shipment. 5. If the shipment is intercepted, your credit card will be charged the $19.45 Package Intercept fee plus any applicable postage. If the actual postage is greater than estimated, any additional postage will be charged accordingly. 6. Your shipment will be redirected to the location you requested. Intercept a Retail Package Paying for Package Intercept Intercepted items will be redirected as the service it was originally sent with (Priority Mail Express®, Priority Mail®, USPS Ground Advantage®, or First-Class Mail®). You must pay the applicable postage. 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. Package Intercept Price Information: $19.45 fee Retail and commercial customers can also purchase additional services for the intercepted package, like Adult Signature Required, Adult Signature Restricted Delivery, Signature Confirmation™, and insurance.

Money Orders

Money Orders | USPS Sending Money Orders When sending money by mail, use money orders as a safe alternative to cash and personal checks. U.S. Postal Service money orders are affordable, widely accepted, and never expire. Your money order receipt will help you track your payment and show proof of value in case the money order gets lost, stolen, or damaged. You can buy or cash postal money orders at any Post Office location. How to Send Domestic Money Orders 1. Decide on the money order amount. You can send up to $1,000 in a single order anywhere in the United States. 2. Go to any Post Office location. 3. Take cash or a debit card. You cannot pay with a credit card. 4. Fill out the money order at the counter with a retail associate. 5. Pay the dollar value of the money order plus the issuing fee. 6. Keep your receipt to track the money order. Money Order Fees Fees are based on the money order dollar amount: - $0.01 to $500.00: $2.65 - $500.01 to $1,000.00: $3.75 - Postal Military Money Orders (issued by military facilities): $0.85 Receiving Postal Money Orders – How to Spot a Fake Before you accept a money order, make sure it's real. Real postal money orders have specific marks and designs to prevent fraud. There are 4 valid designs. Red, Blue, & Red Postal Money Order (July 2025) features a red, blue, and red color pattern with subtle design features of an eagle head and an American flag, and a QR Code in the center. Red & Blue Postal Money Order (February 2025) has a red and blue color pattern with subtle design features of an eagle head and an American flag, and a QR Code in the center. Green & Purple Postal Money Order (Point-of-Sale Version) has a green and purple color pattern with a U.S. Mail 1970 eagle logo in the center. Green & Purple Postal Money Order (Paymaster Version) has a green and purple color pattern with a U.S. Mail 1970 eagle logo in the center. Suspect a Fake? Check the dollar amount: Domestic money orders cannot be more than $1,000. The words and numbers for the amount should match. Discoloration or paper fiber disturbance around the dollar amounts may show the amounts were changed. If you can easily see watermarks without holding them up to the light, it may mean fraud. If you think you have been given a fake money order, verify the money order online by scanning the QR code, visiting tools.usps.com/money-orders.htm, or calling the Money Order Verification System at 1-866-459-7822. If you suspect fraud, contact the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) at 1-877-876-2455 or www.uspis.gov/report. How to Cash Domestic Money Orders Domestic money orders never expire and they do not accrue interest. Money orders are cashed for the exact amount on the order. You can cash a USPS money order at a Post Office for free. You can also cash them at most banks and some stores. Rural carriers may cash money orders if they have enough money on hand. Cashing a Money Order at the Post Office: 1. Do not sign the money order. 2. Take a primary photo ID with the money order to any Post Office location. 3. Sign the money order at the counter in front of a retail associate. Check the Status of a Money Order You can check the status of a money order you have purchased from the U.S. Postal Service at any time by visiting the Money Orders Application. Make sure you have the following information: Serial number, Post Office number, and Dollar amount. Replacing Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Money Orders Lost or Stolen Money Orders: You cannot stop payment on postal money orders, but a lost or stolen money order can be replaced. Money order loss or theft may take up to 30 days to confirm. Investigating a money order's lost or stolen status may take up to 60 days. There is a $23.00 processing fee to replace a lost or stolen money order. Requesting a Refund: Take your money order receipt to any Post Office location. Talk to a retail associate at the counter to start a Money Order Inquiry. After starting the inquiry, you will be able to check the status of your money order and inquiry progress by visiting the Money Orders Application. When your money order is confirmed lost or stolen, the USPS will issue a replacement money order. Damaged Money Orders: The USPS will replace money orders that are defective or damaged. Take the damaged money order and your receipt to your local Post Office location to get a replacement.

Learn about size and weight requirements, calculating postage, and dropping off your shipment. Tuck an Address Inside the Box It's a good idea to include a second piece of paper with the address inside the box, just in case something happens to damage the label on the outside. Be sure to include both the destination address and your return address on the spare copy. Keep Temperature in Mind Remember that outdoor conditions can affect the contents of your package. Desert temperatures typically exceed 100 degrees, which can damage delicate goods like electronics.
