(Newswire.net — February 2, 2018) — We all move to a different place at least at one point in our lives. Either we move to a nearby city to get a graduate degree, relocate to a different place for work or live in a different country temporarily. Moving is never easy but there are definitely ways to make it less stressful and it starts with changing your address. If you plan on moving, you have to deal with the things that you want to bring with you to your new place. You have to make sure that you don’t miss any letters, receipts, and bank statements. You have to inform your family, friends, and colleagues of your new address. All of these require time and energy. This is where USPS steps in to care of your worries so your moving goes smoothly. Here are three ways that USPS makes the moving process less stressful.

1.   Easy Change of Address Application

US Postal Service offers mailing and shipping service when you move. It is easy to arrange this online by simply going to us-mailing-change-of-address.com. You are required to specify if you are moving permanently or temporarily. This information will help you learn about other services that you can use. If you are planning to move more than once for the next 3 months, USPS offers a flat rate of $20.000 for an unlimited change of address without any hidden charges. Then, you will input your moving dates. After providing the old and the new address, submit the information and wait for a response. You can always contact them to get quotes in advance.

2.   Discounted Moving Quotes, Boxes and Supplies

If you are a classic hoarder or you have bits and pieces of things that you just can’t get rid of, say no more because USPS got you covered. You can buy discounted boxes and supplies to secure all your belongings. USPS has an online store where you can buy supplies from stamps to cards, envelopes, address labels and boxes of different sizes. The specialists at USPS will help search for reliable moving companies in your area that offer competitive prices.

3.   Offers Notification to Multiple Agencies

When you move, you have to make sure that your new address is accessible at least for companies and agencies where you expect to get letters from. If you are moving permanently to a new home, you have to notify IRS and update your driver’s license DMV address. USPS will help you process this change so that you are all caught up by the time you finished moving. You can even update your magazine subscriptions at the same time.

There are certainly a lot of complementary services that USPS can offer as part of their moving bundle. This includes a moving checklist and a moving guide so that you are prepared and stress-free during the whole process. However, the most important reason why USPS is the right fit, it’s because it is truly trustworthy and you will not be scammed into providing your personal information.
