What does it mean if a package is redirected to a different address?

This implies that the shipment is being redirected to a different address than initially indicated. A package is typically marked as ‘forwarded’ due to reasons such as a permanent or temporary change of address, or a mail forwarding service request, indicating that the intended recipient has moved or otherwise adjusted their delivery location.

What should I do if a recipient moves to a new address?

Always double-check the spelling you type or write on an address label. Also, don’t forget to ask whether the recipient has moved to a new address. If you don’t want the Post Office to forward mail to your old address, make sure to process your Change of Address request early in your moving process.

What happens if a package is sent to a different address?

A single digit mistake in the mailing address can result in USPS forwarding mail and packages to a different town, city, or state. If the Zip Code has a different last digit or a missing digit altogether, you’ll surely have a misdelivered package situation on your hands.
