Mail forwarding

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Post offices and other mail service providers typically offer a mail forwarding service to redirect mail destined for one location to another — usually for a given period of time. (In the case of the United States Postal Service's First Class Mail it is generally for a period of one year, although at least one exception has been made in the case of mail addressed to the World Trade Center.)[1] Customers of such a service usually (but not exclusively) use mail-forwarding when they change addresses or move premises.

The mail forwarding service offered by postal authorities should be distinguished from private mail forwarding services.
