Stop Your Mail for Vacation

Before leaving for vacation, you may wish to stop the delivery of your mail from the United States Postal Service. Mail which piles up while you are away may provide a clue to potential burglars that you are not at home. If you leave mail in an external mailbox, you run the risk of mail theft and possibly even identity theft. Fortunately, the United States Postal Service has made it easy to stop mail delivery from three to 30 days. You can use a simple online form, fill out a form at the Post Office or call an 800 number.
