Royal mail postal divert
A Royal Mail postal divert is a service that allows you to redirect your mail to a different address. This can be useful in various situations, such as:
- Moving to a new home: You can divert your mail to your new address, ensuring that you receive all your mail and packages at your new location.
- Going on holiday: You can divert your mail to a friend or family member's address, so you don't miss any important mail while you're away.
- Changing your address: If you're changing your address, you can divert your mail to your new address, making the transition smoother.
Here's how to set up a Royal Mail postal divert:
- Go to the Royal Mail website and log in to your account.
- Click on "Manage my account" and then select "Postal Divert" from the menu.
- Enter the details of the address you want to divert your mail to, including the postcode.
- Choose the type of mail you want to divert (e.g., letters, parcels, or both).
- Set the start and end dates for the divert (if you only want to divert your mail for a specific period).
- Review and confirm your details.
Once you've set up your postal divert, Royal Mail will redirect your mail to the new address for the specified period. You can also cancel or amend your divert at any time through your Royal Mail account.
Some important things to note:
- You can only divert mail to a UK address.
- You can't divert mail to a PO box or a business address.
- You'll need to have a Royal Mail account to set up a postal divert.
- There may be a small fee for setting up and maintaining a postal divert.
It's always a good idea to check with Royal Mail for any specific requirements or restrictions before setting up a postal divert.
