Can i divert a royal mail delivery

According to Royal Mail's guidelines, you can divert a delivery to a different address, but there are some conditions and limitations to consider:

1. Temporary redirection: You can divert a delivery to a different address for a limited time (up to 12 months) using Royal Mail's Temporary Redirection service. This service is available for a fee, and you'll need to provide proof of identity and address.
2. Permanent redirection: If you're moving to a new address permanently, you can set up a permanent redirection with Royal Mail. This service is also available for a fee, and you'll need to provide proof of identity and address.
3. Delivery to a neighbor or friend: If you're not going to be at home to receive a delivery, you can ask a neighbor or friend to accept the delivery on your behalf. Make sure to give them your permission and provide them with your Royal Mail tracking number.
4. Delivery to a local collection point: If you're not going to be at home to receive a delivery, you can arrange for it to be held at a local Royal Mail collection point. You'll need to contact Royal Mail to arrange this service.

However, there are some limitations to consider:

• Not all items can be diverted: Some items, such as large or heavy packages, may not be eligible for redirection.
• Delivery times may vary: Redirection services may affect the delivery time, and it's possible that your package may take longer to arrive at its new destination.
• Additional fees may apply: Redirection services may incur additional fees, which will be charged to your account.

To divert a Royal Mail delivery, you can:

1. Contact Royal Mail's customer service team by phone or online chat.
2. Visit your local Royal Mail post office.
3. Use Royal Mail's online redirection service (if available for your specific delivery).

Remember to provide your Royal Mail tracking number and the new address you'd like the delivery to be redirected to.
