[pct-l] re: Post Offices and holding parcels.

[Frank Dumville]

The two weeks is a minimum time that a post office will hold your package. 

Individual post offices will have different local policies. Many of the smaller post offices that are close to the trail try to accommodate the hikers and will hold packages longer. However, they may have limited storage space and may not be able to do this.

One that may not is South Lake Tahoe. In 2004 the clerk told me they do not hold packages after two weeks. Expect that policies may change from year to year.

When I hiked I had many cases of picking up packages late. None where returned before I got there.
