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 $17.00 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 Select Nonpresort price.
  • Standard 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 2 forms of ID and evidence of residence at the primary address.

If you sign up online, you pay for the service with a credit card. The $15.00 enrollment fee must be paid when you sign up, but weekly installment fees of $17.00 are processed as recurring payments. Your first recurring payment is processed on the start date and, thereafter, recurring payments are processed each Wednesday until your requested end date. 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.
