We live in Fenney so I called the Wildwood Post Office and they said to call Lady Lake, that number has been busy since 9:00 AM and still is. I tried to stop it on line but I need the forwarding confirmation number that I cannot find. Does anyone know how I can do this? I also just sent an e-mail to USPS customer service asking for advice, when I clicked send it stated unable to process at this time, try later. I called the USPS customer service number and after going through the entire computerized process was told the hold time is over one hour. I can't believe how hard it is to make a simple change. Please help if you can, maybe one or more of you used to work for USPS. Thanks Nick.

Based on my experience, multiple changes really confuse the system. If I were you, I would do nothing. Ask your Ohio Post Office to hold any mail. After a reasonable time, call them and arrange for someone to pick it up. I've done this to the point that I'm on a first name basis with the old (North) P.O. folks.
If you are expecting something important, call the sender, explain the situation and request it be sent to you via email.
