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
