USPS will hold your mail for 30 days if you request it in advance. That's probably your best bet for a service. Really my suggestion would be to find a friend you trust and just ask if you can borrow their address to ship stuff to.

Or a neighbor you can lend a key to and they can just shove your packages inside. I bring packages in for my neighbors.

As a letter carrier, our space to store your hold mail is limited. It’s a huge inconvenience for us if you put your mail on hold and keep getting packages because it piles up around our work area making it difficult to set up our routes in the morning. If you know you’re going out of town, stop buying stuff online, especially if it comes from someone other than USPS, because FedEx, Amazon and UPS are just gonna leave it on your doorstep
