Mail redirection.

£42 for two of us, am I wrong thinking that's expensive?

I just better hope I've written to everyone!!!

I assume you have two different surnames, and have chosen to redirect for around 3 months? If so then yes this is correct. We have currently done this but we have same surnames so its one fee. Mail arrives a few days later than normal, but all going ok so far.

Yep different surnames. I just feel we have enough to pay out!

£42 for three months for two people works out at coppers a day.

Worth forking out for though, because when I didn't someone took out a gas and electricity account in my name and then didn't pay the bills!

I didn't find out until the company found my new address years and sent a Final Demand. Luckily they were suspicious anyway so I just sent them proof I was living at my present address when the bills were accumulated and it was wiped

Another life lesson learnt...

It's not compulsory(although it makes good sense as described above). When we moved I took it out for six months and then extended it for a further three and regard it as money well spent.

Thanks, I will get online and do it today


Edit


I've done it. I'm just double thinking every cost as we've spent a small fortune so far!

I would make sure it covers the Christmas period as a minimum, because there are always people who send you cards etc, and who you've forgotten ...

For that reason alone, it's worth forking out. I redirect for a year when I move.

It's best to write to people also with your change of address, as Royal Mail unfortunately do let a few letters slip through.

Oh, and don't be too surprised to find redirected mail in your envelope that actually should not have been! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Some still slips through though - my last tenant paid for it and I still got a few letters for him. I think its down to the variation in the way names are written, they might recognise you as Mr/Mrs M Doggy, or Mr/Mrs Doggy, but not Mr/Mrs Monty Doggy.
