A customer moved but is not receiving his mail because he did not submit a change of address form. He wants you to give him his mail anyway. What should you do?

1) Give the customer his mail without any further action.
2) Advise the customer to submit a change of address form.
3) Ignore the customer's request and continue holding the mail.
4) Contact the previous address to confirm the customer's move.

Advise the customer to submit a change of address form to receive mail at the new location. This is crucial for accurate mail delivery and compliance with postal regulations.

Advise the customer to submit a change of address form as per postal regulations to ensure proper mail delivery.

When a customer moves and does not submit a change of address form, mail cannot be effectively forwarded to the new location. In accordance with postal guidelines, the customer should be encouraged to complete and submit the necessary form. This process not only updates the mailing address for regular correspondence but may also be important for voter registration and other official records. The Department of Motor Vehicles or the Secretary of State's website often provides information and resources assisting in this process. It is not permissible to hand out mail without confirming the change of address through the proper channels, to prevent potential mail fraud or delivery errors. Furthermore, contacting the previous address is neither efficient nor a recommended practice for confirming a customer's move.

The best course of action is to instruct the customer to fill out the appropriate change of address form to ensure they receive their mail at the correct location, thus maintaining the integrity and efficiency of postal services.
