Well? What's the best way?

Online at the USPS. The coupons they give you make it well worth the $1 fee.

Then go online to every place that sends you stuff you want/needs. Banks, credit cards, student loans, etc.

You are done.

Oh, and try not to mail any rebates until you get to the new address. The USPS forwarding only lasts a short time, often longer than the rebate period. Thus, you may never get your rebate. Note: usually the USPS will forward things for years but they only guarantee a forward for a short time.

Yea, you can get forwarding orders for your mail at a post office. They have entire "change of address" packages with coupons, too. 92

You are welcome. I often want to pretend I'm moving just for those coupons. I think last time I saved ~$50 as Sears and ~$100 at Home Depot from them. I don't know what will happen if you filled that out and didn't change the address.

Yea, I thought it was weird when I found the coupons, but I definitely used them. 96

Yes. Some places will get the notification of address change and automatically change your address in their systems, however, if you subscribe to magazines they will not get changed. I think it's anything that is sent via a media mail rate will be delivered to the old address whether you like it or not. You must manually notify those places.

It's a good idea to start saving copies of any mail that you know you will need the address changed on so when you do move and want the mail to start changing address, you can go through it and notify them right away, rather than waiting for things to start getting rejected and not showing up. 67

the best way to do this is fill out the change of address form 2 weeks before you leave your old address

then you dont have to deal with going back every week for the mail
