Mail diversion royal mail
Mail diversion is a service offered by Royal Mail that allows you to redirect your mail to a different address for a specified period of time. This can be useful in various situations, such as:
- Moving to a new home: You can use mail diversion to redirect your mail to your new address while you're still living at your old address.
- Going on holiday: You can divert your mail to a friend or family member's address while you're away on holiday.
- Renovating or redecorating: If you're having work done on your home, you can divert your mail to a temporary address to avoid missing important deliveries.
Here's how to set up mail diversion with Royal Mail:
- Go to the Royal Mail website and click on "Mail Diversion" under the "Services" tab.
- Fill in the online form with your details, including your name, address, and the address you want to divert your mail to.
- Choose the start and end dates for the diversion.
- Pay the fee for the service (currently £34.99 for up to 12 months).
- Royal Mail will then redirect your mail to the specified address for the chosen period.
Please note that mail diversion is only available for personal mail, not for business mail or packages. Also, it's important to note that mail diversion is not a guarantee that all of your mail will be redirected, as some mail may still be delivered to your original address.
Additionally, you can also use Royal Mail's "Temporary Address" service, which allows you to receive mail at a temporary address for a short period of time (up to 6 months). This service is free, but you'll need to provide proof of identity and address.
It's always a good idea to check with Royal Mail for any specific requirements or restrictions before setting up mail diversion.
