I had started to trace packages on the USPS website, with tracking numbers, and was horrified that they simply stopped updating the whereabouts of packages on 10/17. I asked for patience and explained I had just moved. I was getting calls from customers, creditors and shippers saying packages were not arriving. I was getting nervous, because I run a business, and there was no mail in the new location either.ģ. I stopped receiving mail at the old location on 10/13. I was advised to fill out a form online and put that as the start date, and they would begin processing the request right away. I called the 1-800 number to get advice on the best way to get mail forwarded to a new location, and told them I had a month to plan but the most important thing was that I needed mail at the new address on 10/15. This is the OFFICIAL USPS form for reference.

Unfortunately, I see now in the fine print their statement of $39.95, which is entirely my fault, despite how frustrating it is.
