Can royal mail hold my mail

Yes, Royal Mail can hold your mail for you. This service is called "Mail Hold" or "Mail Storage" and it's available for both personal and business mail.

Here's how it works:

1. You can request a Mail Hold service by contacting Royal Mail or visiting their website.
2. You'll need to provide your name, address, and a valid reason for holding your mail (e.g., you're going on holiday, moving, or away from your address for an extended period).
3. Royal Mail will then hold your mail at their local delivery office for a specified period (usually up to 3 months).
4. During this time, you can collect your mail at the delivery office or have it forwarded to a different address.
5. If you're unable to collect your mail, Royal Mail can also dispose of it or return it to the sender.

There are some conditions and limitations to consider:

• You can only hold mail for a maximum of 3 months.
• You'll need to provide a valid reason for holding your mail.
• You'll need to collect your mail within the specified holding period or make arrangements for it to be forwarded or disposed of.
• Some types of mail, such as registered mail or mail with special handling requirements, may not be eligible for Mail Hold.
• There may be a small fee for Mail Hold services, depending on the type of mail and the length of time it's held.

It's worth noting that Royal Mail also offers a "Mail Forwarding" service, which allows you to have your mail forwarded to a different address for a longer period (up to 12 months). This service is available for both personal and business mail.
