To expedite the process:
1) Fill out a change of address form (3575) by hand and leave it in your mailbox, the Internet system still has bugs
2) Tell everybody. The USPS only forwards your mail its not responsible for notifying your friends, relatives, etc
3) Since you've already moved it is going to take a few days for your mail catch up with you (Sometimes up to 14 days). Its always best to file your COA (change of address) two weeks before you move.
4) When you get mail with a yellow forwarding sticker on it at your new address tell that person you've moved ASAP

The post office today is completely automated. mail is initially not handled by hand except to be put in tubs to be delivered. When undeliverable mail, such as when you move, is returned to the post office by the resident, then a real person looks to find if there is a way for it be delivered. That's when they find your change of address and actually change it. Even then, much of your mail, for several weeks will go through this process of being returned before being rerouted to your new address. It's not supposed to work that way but unfortunately it does. The best thing to do is make sure everybody who will be mailing anything to you has your new address when you move. If no one lives where you moved from, Talk to the carrier. Don't just pick up your mail from your old address or they will never start rerouting it to your new one. Mark it as 'No one here by that name' and put it back in the mail box, with the little flag up.

Time changed into when we had 2 mail deliveries an afternoon - once round 7.30, having reported that early afternoon. We also had post bins emptied round 4.30 p.m. on a Sunday. you should really a lot make particular that an inland letter revealed at present may arrive at its destination day after today. So, even if that is reduce to 2 times a week, what takes position about organisation correspondence - some unique information won't be able to be despatched by using digital mail and in some circumstances, time should be of the essence. it ought to advise that significant mail revealed on a Friday isn't taken care of till eventually after first post on a Monday, that could advise shipping, say Thursday? it will be swifter to get on a push bike and take it your self! As technologies has more beneficial and so have pay stages, the fee of postage has rocketed and the so-said as "service" has deteriorated.

You should always send out change of addresses to all parties that need to know. A change of address form given to the post office by no means guarantees that your mail will find you. I've found out that I had mail waiting at a residence that I hadn't lived at for years, it was all BS mail, but I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for the fact the homeowner and I kept in contact.

Yes they know to deliver, but sometimes paper work gets caught up so you may wanna contact the Post Office and find out exactly what happened. Also mail may still be going to your old address, so you wanna check that out as well. You don't want your mail in the wrong hands.

sometimes it takes four weeks to get your mail coming. On the change of address form, did you list a specific date to start sending the mail? If all else fails call you post office

When you fill out the paperwork, there is a spot to fill in the start delivery date, maybe you missed it. I know whenever I've moved I had mail the first day we moved in. Either stop by or call the old post office and see what the date says (to start the delivery) and if wrong ask them to start delivery asap.

There should have been a date to start on the form. It's not a perfect system, so stop by the post office again and confirm the change.

You can always call 1-800-ASK-USPS and if they can't answer it for you they can give you the # to your local post office so you can check up on it. Another thing is it may take a little longer if you didn't address the reverse side of the form to your former local post office.

You will get a lot soon. They have to send it to your old post office.
