Premium Forwarding Service®
Taking a long vacation? Or an out-of-town assignment? Make sure you don’t miss any bills or other important mail. For a weekly fee, we’ll hold your mail, package it up, and reship it to you each week by Priority Mail®.
Here's how Premium Forwarding Service (PFS®) works...
- Pay $15.00 to enroll in the service and $15.25 for each week you have your mail reshipped.
- Most mail is bundled and sent to you every Wednesday via Priority Mail, our 2- to 3-day service. Any Express Mail® is automatically rerouted directly to you.
- Priority Mail items are reshipped right away or included in your weekly shipment as long as their delivery wouldn't be delayed.
- First-Class Mail® mailpieces that don't fit in the weekly shipment are rerouted separately at no extra cost.
- PFS is a temporary service that can be used from 15 days up to 1 year.
Some packages will arrive at the temporary address with postage due...
- Standard Mail® pieces are included in a weekly shipment if they fit. Otherwise, they’re shipped postage due at the 1 lb Parcel Post® price.
- Parcel Post, Bound Printed Matter, Media Mail®, and Library Mail pieces aren’t included in Premium Forwarding Service shipments. They are shipped postage due with the service originally used to send them.
To sign up, go to PFS Online™ or stop by your local Post Office with two forms of ID and evidence of residence at the primary address. The PFS Online option is not currently available for PO Box addresses. Please note that you may only make changes to a PFS Online order if your initial request was submitted online.
