You’re ready to take a trip.
Bags are packed. You’ve got your tickets and documents. But you need to do something else before you leave home, which will also protect you and not announce to the world you’re not home.
You need to call UPS, FedEx and the US Postal Service and have them confirm a vacation or mail hold.
The post office will hold your mail for up to 30 days.
UPS has a service that will hold a package at its distribution center until you return.
And FedEx will put a temporary hold on delivering your stuff for up to 14 days. And for online retailers, you can always schedule a future delivery date in advance…and you should.
