Royal Mail redirection - no labels?

Hi,

Does anyone know if Royal Mail have either stopped or sometimes don't put redirection labels on post with the new address? I can't understand how my mail is getting to my new house as it has my old address on? We have not moved far which may have something to do with it, the first couple did have labels on but now they're just coming as normal with the old address!

Any ideas?

    We have a redirection and all of our redirected post has the labels on.

    Assuming you're being served by the same delivery office, your old postie will just be spotting any mail with you name on and handing it to your new postie.

    This. Plus if you get a lot redirected they just haven't reissued more labels. But jacko is more than likely correct, that's what I mainly did.
  • We moved locally so same sorting office

    When there were several items the Mail used to come in a plastic envelope with a label on so maybe your postie is just taking it out

    We did always have labels though on single items
