Until this month I would have said No Worries forwarding mail is not a big deal. January 1 we forwarded mail for a month from TV to MI. We don’t get bills but wanted to see how long forwarded mail takes. We have forwarded mail from here since 2010. This year is very different

Twice a week we also mailed an envelope to our home address. The forwarded mail from TV didn’t show up until 5 weeks later. 13 pieces of mail from lawn guy, pest companies, and for some reason crematoriums. Nine pieces of mail never showed, as of March 20. We have someone that lives at our north home, that takes pictures of daily mail.

Now for the twice a week envelope’s each didn’t start showing up for until 31 days later. Six are still missing. These envelopes were stamped and mailed at the local post office.

My advice for my experience would be to go paperless for every mail you can. You can always stop when you return. Then hope what mail you forwarded isn’t important or you can wait for over 5 weeks to show up
