When your membership ends, you must choose how your mail is handled going forward by completing the Mail Service Continuation section of your Termination Form.
Your Two Options
Option 1: Mail Forwarding for 6 Months For six months after your membership ends, we'll forward your mail once a week to a single domestic address you designate.
Cost: $95/month, billed in full upfront at $570 for the 6-month period, plus postage costs (billed monthly as incurred).
After 6 months, any remaining mail moves to Option 2.
Option 2: No Continuation We'll destroy USPS mail and refuse, discard, or destroy any other packages delivered to you after your membership ends.
If you don't choose an option, Option 2 (no continuation) applies automatically β so if you want forwarding, you need to actively select and pay for Option 1 on your Termination Form.
Important: You Can't Redirect Mail Yourself
As a registered Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA), we're not able to accept a USPS change-of-address form that redirects mail from our address to another location β this is a USPS rule for CMRA/private mailbox addresses, not a Downtown Works policy choice.
Your Responsibility
Before your membership ends, notify anyone who sends you mail β banks, vendors, clients, government agencies β of your new address. We have no obligation to store, forward, or hold mail beyond the option you selected (or beyond the default, if none was selected).
