I tried to use the online system for changing my address last June when I moved to Durham. It didn’t work — nothing got forwarded even after about two weeks. I then filed the paper form at the post office, and that didn’t work for a while. Called them and they claimed to have no record of either form. Finally filed the paper form a 2nd time (third filing overall) and it finally “took” about a month after I moved.
It was a good thing I had a nice landlord who checked the box for me several times a week and held the mail for me.
That’s cute. Luckily, my roommates are staying where I currently am, so getting stuff forwarded if the USPS falls through shouldn’t be a problem.
well, maybe
