HAs anyone used ROYAL MAIL redirection?

Dave,

But even for those who've not moved and have lived in the same house 20 years, the royal mail still loses stuff or it gets nicked before it ever gets to your door so you're no better or worse off with redirection as the letter has the same chance of getting to you through redirection as it does normally - which is pretty low odds!.

We used it when we moved last and found that it worked ok, some things did get delivered to our old address but I suppose it relies on the person at the sorting office. I wouldn't think twice about using it again, or recommending it to others.

The problem I have with this is it's hard to tell how it's working, as if a letter fails to get to you, then by definition you never see it, so you don't know you were supposed to get it!

Have used RM redirection several times with no (obvious!) probs. Can renew online now, which is handy.

Interestingly, I moved in August of last year and some of the post that hasn't made it to my new address has been passed onto a relative of mine. You'd be surprised how hit and miss it all really is and how poorly the service is run
