What are the rules to what you give a neighbor for picking up you mail while on vacation?

September 17th, 2009

I have a rural mail box & didn’t want to tell my P.O. I was going away. So when my neighbor just went away for a few days she I got her mail & she brought me some delicious cookies (pistachio) from Trader Joe’s. I am in a state that doesn’t have Trader Joe’s but want to get her something. I don’t have much money but thought of buying her something from a Barnes & Noble. She like Saduko but what is the right thing to get & how much do I spend? or is there something else I don’t know?

If you want to get her a book,Barnes and Noble has a huge assortment. Many are heavily reduced in price, and she won’t know it.Some have been published recently. This way I don’t think you would even spend $10, and perhaps much less. Also the Post Office can keep mail. However if you have an established relationship with your neighbor it’s Better to let her do it. Happy hunting

    Bake her some cookies with your own hands! The recipe on the back of the Nestle Tollhouse choclate chips is best, and add some macadamia nuts, or walnuts. You only have to use half the choclate chips they say you do, though.

    I agree, make her something yourself. Use seasonal fruits or berries – it’s cheaper than buying something and she’ll know your heart was in the right place.

    If you wish to show your gratitude to a neighbor for picking up your mail while you are away, send a "Thank you" card. If you feel it is necessary to otherwise and are uncomfortable in doing so, call the post office and arrange for your mail to be held there until you can pick it up.

    I hope you find the answer you seek and peace in your heart.

    That is a good way to do as you did; however, if one informs the post office they hold all the mail till you pick it up.
