You could try having your mail forwarded. It's kinda like a change of address when you move but temporary. Your local post office should be able to set it up for either a specified amount of time or possibly until you come back and remove it.

Of course your mail will take longer to get to you because it will still go to your current post office first and the back into the mail stream to the next address.

It is 6 months or a year. You can reserve one on-line at the USPS website.

I work on the road, installing in room entertainment systems in hotels. Almost exclusively saying in the hotel I am working at. Anywhere from 3 days to 6 weeks art a time. I have had many things delivered to the hotel. I do the best I can to have the sender clearly label the package with something like ATTN "XXX Company Tech".
Which is also they all our official materials are labeled.

Now considering I am there working on a project for the hotel most employees are aware of our presence and understand We have packages coming in. There is extremely differing success on how quickly we are notified of or presented with the packages depending on the hotel.

If You are staying at a hotel and decide to have them delivered there, check with the hotel if they have and official shipping and receiving department, or who would in the hotel would actually receive incoming parcels. Let them know You are expecting packages. Often they will even inform You of the usual time of day USPS, fedex or ups shows up.

BWhare is correct about mail forwarding; usually takes an extra week. You can go to ailbox etc" or a similar busines and they usually have different terms, from 3, 6 mo. to a year.
I travel quite a bit and have had the best luck with these B&M shops.
Good luck

I'd opt for the post office. You have to rent for 6 months, but it's cheap, and when you leave, you can close the box and have them forward all mail to your home address.

The only thing to watch for is that you opt for only mail addressed to the box rather than forwarding all your mail to the box.
