If you see mail marked as Quarantine in your inbox, it means we’ve temporarily held the item due to a compliance issue. This is required by USPS regulations to ensure your mail remains private, secure, and legally protected.
Mail may be placed in quarantine for one of the following reasons:
The mail is addressed to a name not yet approved or verified on your account
The item was delivered by USPS, but we don’t have a completed Form 1583 on file for you
Your account is not yet fully approved
While in quarantine, the item cannot be scanned, opened, or shipped.
How do I remove an item from quarantine?
✅ If your account is active and approved:
Click “More” next to the quarantined item
Select “Add name” and follow the steps
Or, choose to Discard or Return to Sender
✅ If your account is pending approval:
Make sure you’ve submitted all required documents, including Form 1583 and valid ID
Once the missing name or your account is approved, we will move the quarantined items to your mailbox.
💡 Tip: To avoid automatic discard, take action within 15 days. After that, quarantined items are securely shredded or returned to sender.
