Snowbirds and US Mail

[dbevins]

How do you snowbirds that own a home in the Villages handle your mail. I'll have mail from my address in the Villages forwarded to my Ohio address for most of the year. I guess I'll have to forward my Ohio address to the Villages address and stop forwarding the Villages address to my Ohio address while I'm in the Villages. Then right before I go back to Ohio start forwarding my Villages address to my Ohio address and stop the forwarding of my Ohio address to the Villages address. Are you as confused as I am? Any input?

That's the way I do it.

It's easy to do via the Internet.

In TV, I always talk to the mail workers at our postal station and if anything gets missed I hope they will follow through and forward the unmarked mail that may get through. I also stick a cardboard sign in my mail box that says please forward to the address on record.

In Kentucky I have a mail slot in the door. I tape that shut with a note that says pleas forward to address on record.

Never had a problem in five years.

I come back and forth between Connecticut and The Villages 3 times per year for as little as a month (2 times) and as long as 5 months (Winter time) for the past 3 years and had no glitches at all forwarding my mail.

We do the same thing, forward VT mail to TV and vice versa. Love the 10% Lowe's coupon too each way.
