USPS Hold Mail Form

TERMS & CONDITIONS

USHoldMail.com (“USHoldMail”), together with our affiliates and licensees, (collectively, "we," "us," or "our,") operate www.usholdmail.com (the "Site") whereby we offer certain services, including, but not limited to our Hold Mail service (our "Services"). Any use of this website is subject to the following Terms & Conditions (the "Terms"), which sets forth the terms and conditions that apply to your access and use of the Site and the terms and conditions under which we provide our Services. If you do not agree with the terms and conditions of this User Agreement, you may not access, visit and/or use the Service. The User Agreement may be modified from time to time, so check back often.

USHoldMail.com is operated by a private company which is not a government website, nor is it affiliated with, endorsed, or approved by the USPS or any government agency. USHoldMail.com offers a membership based service that specializes in providing assistance with scheduling and placing mail hold requests that the USPS cannot accommodate, while simultaneously offering customers ancillary benefits. All services include experienced and helpful support, available by phone and e-mail. The membership fee we charge is in exchange for the services and benefits we provide, not for the actual mail hold itself. The USPS service for holding mail can be filed for free online at usps.com or at a local post office if you prefer to file your own, although certain scheduling restrictions may apply.

We reserve the right to investigate any and all suspected violations of these Terms of Use and to take any and all necessary or appropriate actions to remedy such violations, as we may determine in our sole discretion.

For information about USHoldMail.com's data protection and privacy practices, please read USHoldMail.com's Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

Services

USHoldMail.com's Services may include, but aren't limited to:

Filing an official USPS hold mail requests with the United States Postal Service on behalf of the User.
Transmitting opt-in or opt-out requests to third parties on behalf of Users indicating an interest to learn more about applicable services or products
Transmitting mailing suppression requests to third party data brokers and/or the Direct Marketing Association on behalf of the User and only as instructed by the User

Activation of an Account & Hold Mail Requests

In order to use the services provided, users must create and activate a USHoldMail.com account. An account with USHoldMail.com lasts for 6 months or 1 year from the date of activation based on the service package you purchased.

Once an account has been created, users must properly complete and submit the hold mail request consistent with the hold mail form requirements of the USPS. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that all information submitted is accurate, complete and consistent with the online hold mail form requirements of the USPS. USHoldMail.com will attempt to process a hold mail request using the exact information provided by the user. If a hold mail request is made to this service with incorrect, inconsistent or incomplete information, USHoldMail.com reserves the right to make necessary adjustments when reasonable, or to entirely refrain from completing the request. When applicable, we will make our best efforts reach out to the customer to rectify any uncompleted requests.

Once the user has submitted the information through our system, USHoldMail.com will immediately attempt to complete their request. Once the hold mail request has been finalized and confirmed, any and all issues arising from the hold mail request are no longer the responsibility of USHoldMail.com.

The mail hold will apply to all mail for the specified address. If you are looking to hold only a certain individual's mail at the provided address, we advise that you do not use this service.

Mail holds are not available for PO boxes.

Activation of a USHoldMail.com account does not guarantee nor does it confirm that a hold mail request has been successfully placed. A hold mail confirmation email from the USPS confirms that a hold has been confirmed with the USPS for the address provided. USHoldMail.com uses the email address provided by its customers to place mail holds with the USPS. This provides the customer with the correct information if changes are needed on their mail hold requests.

A mail hold period is deemed to begin on the 'start date' with mail being returned, or ready for pickup, on the 'end date'. An extension to the end date of a mail hold is only obtainable if the request for the extension is made prior to the end date. Once the mail hold period has begun, no further extensions to the start date can or will be put into effect. Further, an edit request to adjust the accumulated mail collection option from “carrier” to “pickup,” or vice versa, must be made prior to the end date if the change is to have any effect.

The USPS mail hold period can last for up to thirty days. Customers who have requested multiple consecutive mail holds in an effort to extend the thirty day limit are cautioned that accumulated mail from the initial request will not continue to be held by virtue of a second consecutive hold mail request. While USHoldMail.com offers the option of making multiple mail hold requests at once, the responsibility to attend to the accumulated mail stays with the customer at the end of every mail hold period.

If there is already an active mail hold on your address that was not placed by USHoldMail.com, we do not have access to cancel that request and are not able to put on a new mail hold until that active hold is either cancelled, or we have reached the end of the hold dates. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that any active hold mail requests are cancelled or to provide us with the end dates of the existing hold, so that we may process the new hold request through USHoldMail.com. If we cannot schedule a hold mail request because there is an existing active hold, and we have not received the details of the existing hold, USHoldMail.com will not be held responsible in any way for not scheduling such a hold mail request.

USHoldMail.com is only a service provider. We do not hold any physical items for customers. We only assist in putting mail services on hold. As such, we are not responsible for any non-delivery of items after the mail hold period has ended. If your mail hold period, as so requested, has ended and regular delivery has not restarted, we are in no way answerable or accountable for this unrelated occurrence and will not make any further inquiry or take any further action on the matter. If you cannot locate or have not received your accumulated mail at the conclusion of the mail hold period, or if regular delivery has not recommenced, please contact your local post office.

Cancellation of an Account

To cancel an account, users should reference the Contact US page to find the best way to contact us and inform of us of a cancelation request. Please refer to the Refunds section for further details on our refund policy. Once an account with USHoldMail.com has been cancelled, we are not required to provide any further service or take any further action on your behalf. This includes cancelling any mail hold requests that may have been processed while the account was open.

Customers requesting a cancellation of a hold mail request without requesting refund are deemed to be requesting a cancellation of a mail hold request only, and not a cancellation of their account with USHoldMail.com.

USHoldMail.com will make commercially reasonable efforts to implement our Services by contacting various third parties as requested by our Users, but we don't guarantee successful notification and we aren't responsible for the actions or omissions of the third parties we contact on behalf of Users.

USHoldMail.com reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice. As set forth in detail below, you agree that USHoldMail.com shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, failure or discontinuance of the Services.
