I send ours to a relative's house.
This is super convenient.
The weird part is, there is a delay in starting the redirect, so they stop delivering mail to your house, and then for up to 10 days nothing shows up at the redirected house.
When I get back I just adjust the redirect or cancel it, so our mail shows up at home.

Sometimes the mail forwarding works and sometimes it doesn't. Ya takes your chances. This snowbird season (since November) I've been having very poor results with the USPS forwarding. Their 'informed delivery' is worse than useless, as more than 50% of the mail sent to my Michigan address is shown as having no image
...so I don't even know what was sent to me in MI that hasn't arrived at my Florida location.
I appreciate that so much can be done online these days -- paying bills, getting financial statements, etc.
