There are various methods persons are utilizing to economize these days with the financial system, etc. I use green technologies as well as purchasing every little thing online using a value comparability software program like My Shopping Genie from genie2compare.com. 432370 2010-12-30T15:14:55-08:00 Robert If you need to hold mail, DO NOT use the online service. Completely useless. Even after sucessfully putting in a request online (with confirmation number), my mail was jammed packed into my small box after returning from 10 days. The supervisor told me that sometimes the information from the website does not reach the local post office. Unbelievable!!!! 432350 2009-09-07T23:27:56-07:00 Jason Does the USPS online hold mail cover UPS and Fedex packages? Or is that different? If I instead placed a sticky note on my mail box indicating that I am going to be away, is that enough for the Post Office to automatically put my mail on hold etc?
