Forwarding lasts for only one year. When the forwarding expires, they return mail to sender.

To receive mail in TV when you have not been receiving it, go to your TV mailbox, open it, and take out the cardboard cover the deliveryman puts over the back of your box showing it is not in use. Then put a note saying "Please deliver mail". They will deliver then.

Putting mail on Hold, (not forwarding)is the thing to do whe you come and go periodically. The most efficient way to put mail on Hold is at the USPS.com website.....specify the dates to begin and end. BUT.....the post office workers at Fruitland Park told me that if you want to hold TV mail, there are so many Villages residents coming and going that the postal delivery people at your mailbox place at pool actually hold it there, not at the P.O. She said filling out a Hold card is not needed.......when your box in Tv fills up, they put it in the back right there. When you get to TV, open your mailbox, put a note saying Please deliver.....and if it fits, they put it in there. If your accumulated mail does not fit, they put a key to a bigger mailbox where they have pt yor mail.
