RE USPS forwarding, I am a snowbird and I forward the mail every 6 months.<br />The change of address can be done on-line and the local postoffices are immediately notified. It basically starts the day you input it. This should be backed up by taping a paper sign inside your old mailbox (if you have an outside mailbox) that reads: MAIL FORWARDED EFFECTIVE (DATE). If the postal carrier doesn't pay attention to the computer forwarding, when he/she opens your mailbox she will see the sign and not stick stuff in there.<br /><br />Also, liquor stores always save boxes for people who are moving. These smaller sturdy boxes are perfect for books. If you use anything larger, it's way too heavy to lift.BMWcustomernothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05862040774169984158noreply@blogger.com
