My experience is that post office forwarding is extremely unreliable.
As my carrier explained it to me, when you fill out the forwarding form a note is sent to the carrier. They may not read it. Or there me be a sub one day, who has no idea of the form you filled out months earlier. Or two carriers may share your route and only one of them gets the note.
When I go, I put a note (and I use a whole sheet of paper, not a little scrap of paper that can easily get misplaced) and explain in detail (1) last day to deliver (2) day to resume delivery, if known. (3) I sign it with a return address sticker and leave it in our mailbox. Our carrier and his substitute take care of it, no problem - ever.
