Post re-direction with a gap between moves

Looks like we will be moving out at the end of June and are looking at a minimum 9 week gap before the new place is ready

We have not decided where we will be going, but probably somewhere that one rents by the week

Clearly we could re-direct the post to the new address, but then pay for Keepsafe.

However, I think Keepsafe is only for 2 months, so pretty marginal.

Anyone faced something similar and how did you get around it?

    We're going to redirect our post to the in-laws. They're nearby. When we move into the new house we'll start changing things over properly. It's a bit of an inconvenience but less of a risk, I think, than having post turning up at a temporary address and trying to divert it again.

    If you don't have family, maybe close friends that wouldn't mind?

    How about renting a PO box and redirecting to that, or to a box at a company like Mailboxes Etc?

    What we did was redirect it for 2 months to our temporary address, then set up another one when we moved - we got it redirected for 6 months to the new address to allow for those things that don't get sent very often.

    Sounds like the parents may be the best idea, even though they are not close
