USPS will hold your mail for 30 days if you request it in advance. That's probably your best bet for a service. Really my suggestion would be to find a friend you trust and just ask if you can borrow their address to ship stuff to.

Or a neighbor you can lend a key to and they can just shove your packages inside. I bring packages in for my neighbors.

As a letter carrier, our space to store your hold mail is limited. It’s a huge inconvenience for us if you put your mail on hold and keep getting packages because it piles up around our work area making it difficult to set up our routes in the morning. If you know you’re going out of town, stop buying stuff online, especially if it comes from someone other than USPS, because FedEx, Amazon and UPS are just gonna leave it on your doorstep

Check out the store fronts that offer private mailbox services. They will accept mail and packages on your behalf.

Any UPS store provides this service. Reasonably priced. U can pay for 3 Months 6 months or 12 months at a time. I do it cause of package thiefs and cause i hate the anxiety of having to wait for whatever time the shipping service decides to show up on any given day. I just stop by my mail box once or twice a week and they always got my shit ready and waiting.

A PO BOX/shipping store? If you set up a P.O. Box and a solid shipping place they’ll hold on to anything they get for you
