Question

I'll be out of the country for about 5 weeks. I would like UPS,USPS etc keep my packages that I should receive, until I come back. How to do that?

Answer 1

USPS has a certain amount of time they keep packages on hold and they won't budge on it. You can have your packages redirected to another address which can be a private postal box office or just a good messenger sevice will do this for you.

As for UPS, they will redirect a poackage too but I'm not sure that you can have that arranged ahead of time. It might be a package by package thing so you'll need to call them everytime.

Or if possible just have packages sent to the other address.

Or put a note on your door "ok to leave per M.Smith" and have a friend pick up the packages from your residence. They will even put them in a box on your porch or in your garage if the garage is near your front door.
