Canceling mail forwarding and closing a postage balance

Reconcile each kind of money

Separate the subscription, any outstanding handling charges and prepaid postage funds. Ask whether unused funds are returned, applied to final shipments or subject to another policy. Do not describe a postage balance as a guaranteed subscription refund.

Arrange the remaining mail

Download needed files and decide what should happen to originals and new arrivals. Ask how long the operator continues receiving or remailing, where it can send items and which charges apply. The outgoing provider’s agreement matters.

Update senders before closure

You cannot rely on a USPS change of address from a CMRA. Notify senders directly and monitor an overlap period where possible. Keep written confirmation of closure and the final accounting for your records.
