How does USPS Package Intercept work?
-------------------------------------

There is a Package Intercept fee of $17.50 that applies to all intercepted shipments. Commercial customers who purchase postage online can also submit their Package Intercept request online. Once a Package Intercept request is created, the mailpiece is relabeled as a Priority Mail mailpiece and updated postage charges are applied depending on the dimensions, weight and zone of the intercepted shipment. There is no cost to return a Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail or First Class Mail package to the sender. Priority Mail postage fees are applied for all other requests.

Customers can also purchase additional services for their intercepted package, such as Adult Signature Required, Insurance and Signature Confirmation. Registered Mail shipments that are intercepted can only be returned to the original sender. In order to use the USPS Package Intercept service, the shipment cannot measure more than 108 inches in combined length and girth.

Note: The USPS Package Intercept service is not available for purchase in the Stamps.com software.
