Magazines are forwarded for 60 days only. USPS forwarding system is not perfect but all in all it’s pretty darn good. We go north for about 3 months in the summer (cooler weather). Always use USPS web-site a couple weeks prior to the temporary move. I made the mistake once of filling out the card at Lady Lake PO and handed it to the postal clerk while there and they claimed there was no record following a call 3 weeks later. I was not happy and let them know it. Never did that again.
