Moving house checklist

I'm moving house on May 31 and wondering if there's anything I should bear in mind re comping?
I've got the mail redirection set up for 1 year.
Closing dates after May 31 are now in my new address.

Think I'm just going to change registered details as I go along as there must be 100's of sites with my details and would be there all week trying to remember them all.

Anything else?

Does redirection cover couriers? Good luck with the move!

I'm moving in a few months hopefully and wandered how you get around redirecting couriers ? I don't think there is such an option or does anyone know?

Unfortunately not
I get on well with my neighbours and they've always been very good at taking in parcels for me so will have a word with them to let me know.
Also going to leave a note for people moving into my house saying "some promo parcels may be delivered here for me, can you pass them on people below"

That's a good idea, sounds like you have it all sorted

When I moved last year I unfortunately 'lost' part of a prize which was engraved wine glasses as they were sent by couriers to the old address. Nothing you I could do about it as it was a temp rented place and couriers left parcels in the cupboard by the door without knocking on a number of occasions.

I had a problem with my email address as I was with Virgin which didn't operate in the new area. I swiftly set up a gmail account so it didn't effect comping in the future but who knows what WEMS I missed out on during the change over.

I did win a phone last year which luckily the Company phoned the day before I moved to check my address so i was able to give them the new one. Thats the problem when they take so long to advise winners after enteries close.

Anyway happy moving.

In somewhat similar position. I am out of the country until September but have redirected mail to my daughter's address. Thought I had it all under control then remembered just how many deliveries are by courier :eek:
Best I could do is ask my lovely neighbour to check for non delivery cards once a week when she is in watering my plants and if there are any to phone my daughter who will collect.

I also have been putting my address as c/o daughter on all comps finishing while i am in Greece.

Am sure you will be OK

hope you'll be OK I've noticed the number of prizes being delivered by courier have dropped dramatically recently
