====================================================================================================
UPDATE 01-05-2024
USPS has informed us that if Business forwardings are not working, attempt to do it as a residential change,
( but using the business name ) . If this still does not work, you may have to go to a USPS office in person to do the forward.
Once again, we remind you it is of the utmost importance to notify people mailing to you, directly, of your new address. IRS, Employers for tax forms, Banks, Utilities etc. This is the best way to notify them.
====================================================================================================
UPDATE 01-04-2024 5:00PM
USPS has informed us all changes in their computer system ARE CORRECT.
We have verified that this is working !
====================================================================================================
UPDATE 01-03-2024
Mail that is arriving at Elmwood Station, (that would have been delivered here if we were open) is being HELD there for at least two weeks into January. USPS: 820 Elmwood Ave, Providence RI 02907.
====================================================================================================
UPDATE 01-02-2024 1:00PM
WE have found, and several customes informed us that the USPS HAS NOT made the changes, ( or they are not registering in the computer system or something ). As of 01-02-2024 it is not recognizing Mail Boxes Plus as abandoned, and is not allowing address forwardings to take place. A call was placed TO USPS to fix this. (Again.)
====================================================================================================
UPDATE 12-29-23 4:00PM
USPS has informed us all changes in their computer system have been made, and all change of address should go through now.
====================================================================================================
UPDATE 12-27-2023:
As of today 12-27-2023, the USPS has not removed us as a CMRA from the mail forwarding system.
May have to wait until Jan 30th to enter any forwarding info, as they are to mark us as "Abandoned" (USPS term) after
12-29-2023.
====================================================================================================
UPDATE 12-22-2023
Regarding USPS Forwarding: we must be considered an "Abandoned CMRA" as of Dec 30, 2023.
If the 'proper USPS Terminology' is not used, "Abandoned CMRA" they won't know what to do.
UPDATE 12-22-2023
As most things USPS - they have been very un-responsive in the handling of this closing., So once again, we remind you it is of the utmost importance to notify people mailing to you, directly, of your new address. IRS, Employers for tax forms, Banks, Utilities etc. This is the best way to notify them. The USPS forwarding system has ALWAYS been flaky, at best, and not good to rely on.
====================================================================================================
UPDATE 12-14-2023
It is of the utmost importance to notify people mailing to you, of your new address. This is the main route to notify them.
USPS forwarding should also be done, with an effective date of 12-30-2023.
Remember to adjust your addresses with package shippers: ie Amazon, Walmart, Target, Macy's, eBay etc - anyone you have been logging into and automatically have them ship to you.
The lobby here will be locked at 5:00pm on December 29th. All mail and packages should be picked up by that time.
If you need to contact us after this date, leave a message at 401-943-4075, ( will be on until late January ), or email to
mbplusri@gmail.com.
======================================================================================================
Mail will be received here until December 29, 2023.
It is of the utmost importance to obtain a new address as soon as possible and start notifying people mailing to you of your new address.
Our main concern right now is to get everyone transferred to new CMRA locations.
Attached is a list of mail box rental locations, in an order of closer to further away from this MailBoxes Plus location.
Normally mail forwarding is not allowed from a CMRA. Box holders would need to notify all of their contacts of their new address individually. ( I still recommend that you do this anyway once you obtain your new address. ) However, per the USPS DMM rules, when a CMRA closes, mail forwarding is allowed. ( Note as of November 01, 2023 and 14 attempts to contact the USPS regarding this, I have not had even ONE response.
As an additional note, you will find a new mandated USPS form 1583 when you go to open a new box elsewhere. The new forms and the electronic registration component from the USPS are starting to go into effect. There are new photo id, and address id verification components, that you will need to open a box elsewhere..
