I see we are not the only ones with issues.
Our post office will only hold for 30 days. If we know we will be gone longer then that I have been forwarding our mail to my sons house. It worked great for 2 years. This year it is all screwed up.mi filled out the paper work when we left. When we cam home I stopped the forward. At that time I started getting my sons mail as well. Went to my post office to complain. He had me fill out a change of address for my son. Things still aren't right. I called customer care service and she told me the local post office gave me wrong forms. She walked through everything and made corrections while on the phone.
I have to block a sign in the mail box saying change on file or the jerks will deliver mail when we are gone.
Does anyone use any of the forwarding services like Escapees on a temporary basis. If so how does that work.
