Regarding having a restricted firearm sent to the post office via registered mail - Does anyone know if there's a limit to how much time the post office will hold on to the parcel before pickup?

My issue is that I'm away at work for 6+ weeks at a time, and of course I don't know when the firearm will be sent in the mail. I was going to call the post office in question but they are closed until tomorrow and I want to FOMO on a purchase here...

Thanks in advance
