I want to redirect my mail *to* the post office, from my old address.



Mail Collect won't work for me, because I won't have an address. Poste Restante looks like it would do the job, as long as it's something I can redirect to.

You will have an address before you move out........
you cant redirect to Poste Restante. It must be addressed Poste Restante to the PO.

What you could do is a two stage process: first set up a redirection from your old address to the new one, to start on or slightly before the date that you move out, and Keepsafe service for the new address to run for the period before you move in to the new one. It does mean you'll have no mail for that intermediate period, and if for any reason your completion on the new property is delayed RM may try to deliver your held mail before you actually get there (although it may be possible to extend Keepsafe).
