* and then select a date to restart TV delivery the day after your return to Florida.

So now nothing is coming from TV to Ohio and your mail should be on hold until the day after you get back.

That is the system I use when traveling back and forth and it doesn't cost us anything. If you processed your forwarding to Ohio via computer you should have received a confirmation email - you would find that elusive confirmation number in it! Search your email for USPS - that has helped me a number of times!
I tried calling the number you show above and it has been busy all day long. I did the forwarding via the card rather than the internet so no confirmation number available. I don't have to worry that they would start delivering immediately as in Fenney we have to pick up our mail at the Sales Office as the postal facilities are not yet open. I just thought there would be a way to do this without the confirmation number or a way to get the confirmation number.
