While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    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.

    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.

    You have to admit wanting a forwarding address to get something sent to foreign country that crucially cannot be identified as a forwarding address sounds pretty dodgy!

    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.

    myus.com is set up to do exactly what you require in America, so I'm surprised there isn't something similar here.

    Found one service:

    http://ukpostaladdress.co.uk/

    It was initially set up for people who lived on a holiday park to legitimately receive mail and has grown from there.
