Reforward (remail) envelope FROM UK - Where?

chappers: There is no ''friend'' in entire UK who would be able to do this otherwise I wouldn't be posting on this forum my question. I don't have anyone in UK to do that. Shipper doesn't ship outside of UK.
So find a supplier that does. Simples.I am Not from UK. Never had address there.
its not for multiple months. Just once for like one, max two envelopes.
So the RM forwarding isn't for you, anyway. It's intended to redirect your post from the property you've moved out of, to the property you're moving to. It doesn't have an address you can ask people to send to, apart from your old address.0 -
Not to mention that RM do identity checks against the address you are asking to redirect from and to. So if you haven't lived at the property in the UK you would fail the identity checks.
I agree, this definitely sounds suspect. The least dodgy motive I can think of is to avoid customs charges on something that has duty owing on it.
If its about buying something that the seller can't ship outside of UK, I agree, you should find a supplier in your own country.0 -

From your posts, it sounds like you want to give an organisation the impression that you are resident in the UK, when you're not.
FWIW, depending on the organisation, they are likely to do some address checks.
E.g. If you're trying to open a bank account, the bank will check the electoral register (and/or ask for other forms of proof of address).
If you are paying for something by credit card, most businesses will check that the delivery address you give is the card's registered billing address.0 -
myus.com is set up to do exactly what you require in America, so I'm surprised there isn't something similar here.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
