Forwarding to Canyon Vistas

Go to your any post office to pick up a mail forwarding form, or fill it out online by clicking here.  The Apache Junction Post Office requests the following "four line" address format be used to fill out the part of the form for you "new" address at Canyon Vistas:

<Your Name>

PMB <your site number>

6601 E. Hwy 60

Gold Canyon, AZ  85218

 

Below is an example:

 

John Smythe

PMB 999

6601 E. Hwy 60

Gold Canyon, AZ  85218

 

Unfortunately the forwarding form and software of USPS seems to have problems with 4-line addresses, so you might check with your local post office when you fill it out.  If you cannot use the 4-line address, put the PMB right after your name.  Also, don't be surprised to see that "Gold Canyon" comes up as "Apache Junction" through USPS.  85218 is considered as an Apache Junction ZIP.

 

When you fill out the form, specify a date to stop forwarding that is about a week or more prior to the time you will actually be leaving Canyon Vistas to return home.

 

 

Forwarding mail from Canyon Vistas

 

DO NOT go to the Apache Junction Post Office to fill out a change of address form when you are to leave here.  The Post Office considers Canyon Vistas as a one-address mail drop, and puts all the mail addressed to 6601 E. Hwy 60 in tubs to bring here, and volunteers here at Canyon Vistas sort and place the mail in your mailbox.

 

When you leave Canyon Vistas, you need to leave a number of pre-printed address labels (a sheet of 30 is recommended) so that any mail that still comes here can be forwarded to your "home".  These labels will be attached to each piece of mail that comes here after you leave.  Be sure to leave enough labels for any mail that might still come here.  When the labels run out, your mail will be "Returned to Sender".   The persons that send you mail need to know when you are leaving here so they can begin sending your mail to your home address.  This will not only assure you of timely mail delivery; it will also keep the mail staff here from having to do unnecessary forwarding.

 

The labels you leave here need to be the full size labels (at least 1" x 2 5/8"), not return address size labels.  If you do not have the ability to print the labels, the computer club here at the Resort will do it for you at a $1.00 per sheet of 30 labels.

 

There is no charge for the forwarding service provided by Canyon Vistas, but the Post Office may charge you full price for forwarding  periodicals.
