Mail services- PLEASE HELP! :)

Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to Royal Mail PO Box? I actually need it for personal use and only for a month or less.

Any replies would be very appreciated. THANK YOU

RM offer a redirection service for 7.64 pounds for a month to get your post sent to another UK address. They can also redirect internationally for a larger fee.

Thanks martindow but I dont have another address to redirect it to... I just need it stored somewhere until I can pick it up.

martindow

Could you redirect to a friend maybe? RM also have a service called Keepsafe where they can hold mail for a period

More expensive than redirecting but maybe good for you.

do you need an address to post to or just the mail held?

Basically...im going to have some letters posted for me next month from a number of addresses, but i don’t want them delivered to my home address. I have no one else whose address i could use, so ideally I would like the letters held for me somewhere else so i can pick them up. But any other suggestions of how to get around this problem are welcome

you dont want them delivered to your address or dont want to give out your address?

You could use Mail Boxes Etc but you'll have to compare prices.

I dont want them delivered to my address. Mail Boxes Etc prices are confusing...but it looks too expensive, and i think they do a minimum of 3 months when i only need it for one month. Thanks for the help so far It doesn't seem to be an easily to solve problem.

I‘ve not come across anything cheaper than a Royal Mail PO Box so far. If you are using it for personal use, for one month, just get a Royal Mail PO Box.

If you wanted to look more professional and wanted one for business use, getting a Virtual or real office would be another option. Virtual mailing addresses / offices usually cost around £15 a month. Real offices are much more expensive and prices vary.
