How to Forward Mail in Wyoming
The United States Postal Service handles the forwarding of mail in Wyoming. The post office has two different types of forwarding services: regular mail forwarding and premium mail forwarding. Both services will forward your mail to a temporary address. Premium mail forwarding sends collected mail on specified dates, such as every Friday, to a temporary address. Premium mail forwarding costs $15 to enroll plus a weekly $13.95 reshipment fee (as of 2010). Both regular mail and premium mail forwarding continue for a minimum of two weeks and a maximum of 12 months. Does this Spark an idea?
