This response assumes the position that by "zipcode", you mean a
specific address. If you are talking about different addresses in
(especially) A, there should be no issue at all.
If you are trying to receive mail temporarily at A, the
carrier/office at B will forward it (first class
only?....guys?...help?). But unless you notify carrier/office at A
that you will be there for a month or so, they will continue to
forward to B. Then the mail would go back and forth for a month,
confusing the ____ out of carrier A. A letter to PM of A outlining
the dates should take care of that.
Then again, the original change from A to B is only good for 12
months (forward)/18 months (return & notify). So if it has been more
than a year, letter to PM might work; filling out Temp Fwd at B to
read : You, c/o Person living there, might work better.

Is A or B your permanent living address? Do the temporary forward from that
one. Have to admit, this situation is a CFS unit's living hell.

Sorry, never been good at knowing the form numbers. Clerks (and
everyone else, prolly) are better at that. I would fill out a Temp
Forwarding Order at office B, making the "to" address read "c/o
(parents name)", and try to catch the parents carrier when I first
got there to let him/her know I would be visiting for a month.

If I understand the description you now permanently reside at address
or ZIP Code B. You make an annual pilgrimage back to your original
address or ZIP Code A to visit friends, family or to snow bird.
Based on what you have done you are going to create a loop in the
forwarding system and your mail will be like the MTA.
Solutions:
1. Put your mail on hold at your permanent address, visit and resume
delivery at permanent address.
2. Cancel the forwarding order from old to new. Submit a temporary
order from new to old. Obviously you still know someone at the old
address. Any mail that makes it through the temporary forward can be
sent to you. With more than nine months elapsed most of your mail
has been corrected to your new address so cancellation of COA will
not have serious impact.

Simplest way to cancel the order is to send a COA to the old address
showing old address as both the original (current) and the new
address. You could write "cancel original" on it so as to be
absolutely sure that even the brain dead understand you want all mail
delivered to the original address. After that the temporary forward
from your permanent address back to your visitation residence should
be delivered without incident. Just be sure to put an expiration
date on the temporary order. If you return early, just call your
post office and advise them to cancel it. Any mail that "leaks"
through would be sent back to you by those you visited.

temp forwarding order is on file?? I intend to spend summers at the shore
and I don't know if it would be better to have a temp forwarding or just
come home and pick up my mail every few weeks as I have a large slot in my
door and the mail could just pile up inside the house.

On temporary forward you get all your first class and the rest of the
mail is held until you return. OTOH you seem to be close enough to
make the commute. Why bother with a forward at all other than to
protect yourself against having accountable mail returned while you
are absent.

mail is not held for a temporary forward. Magazines are deep-sixed or
returned to send, depending on what the magazine requests. Bulk mail is
tossed. First-class gets forwarded. Additionally, if the first-class mail
has an endorsement (like bank statements), it will go back to the sender
with a yellow sticker stating you are a temp forward. Mail can be held for
30 days. If you're not going to be away longer than that, I'd suggest you
hold your mail so you don't lose any of it.
I rarely disagree with you, LG, but this is one of them times.

The last I knew, periodicals were forwarded for sixty days regardless of the
type of change. And the only endorsement that gets returned to sender is
"Return Service Requested". A frorward is a forward.

I don't think the rules have changed lately. I will have to research
the POM tomorrow to see exactly what the disposition is for various
mail categories. I know that certain endorsements on first class get
the mail returned with endorsement "temporarily away". I know
locally we hold standard mail as many magazines now come that way.
Will let you know.

sixty days for a perm forward. I'm trying to remember if the ACS mags went
back for temps. Amazing how much of this stuff leaves the brain once
leaving the PS.

Not yet. I haven't totally forgotten about it. I will try to find
out something tomorrow or Monday.

Thanks for all your help guys. I think the safest thing would be just to
have my mail delivered and let it pile up in the house and just drive up and
pick it up every few weeks. I get several weekly magazines and I would hate
to have them lost or destroyed.

pick it up every few weeks. This is one situation where KISS is the best
remedy to the whole situation. One thing's for sure...ask a legitimate
question here, and you get the input of experienced and well-informed
minds....myself included...LOL

3546 is internal for clerk or carrier to "kill" an intermediate order
so mail goes direct from point A to final forward. Sadly too many
new employees think it is a customer form. I am sure if you filled
it out and sent it back that your mail will go where you want it to
go.

This keeps slipping my mind. I remembered it today when I was at
another desk. Looked at the manual. It was dated 1985. Figured I
would wait for a more up-to-date version. ~g~
