What is a Royal Mail Redirect parcel?
A Royal Mail Redirect parcel is a service that allows you to redirect your mail and parcels to a new address for a specified period of time. This service is useful if you're moving home, going on holiday, or need to receive mail at a temporary address.
How does it work?
To use the Royal Mail Redirect service, you'll need to:
- Fill out a redirect form: You can download and print a redirect form from the Royal Mail website or pick one up from a post office.
- Provide your old and new addresses: Fill in your old address (where the mail is currently being sent) and your new address (where you want the mail to be redirected).
- Specify the redirect period: Choose how long you want the redirect to last (up to 12 months).
- Pay the fee: The cost of the redirect service varies depending on the length of the redirect period and the type of mail being redirected.
- Send the form: Return the completed form to Royal Mail, either by post or in person at a post office.
What types of mail can be redirected?
The Royal Mail Redirect service can handle most types of mail, including:
- Letters
- Parcels
- Packages
- Postcards
- Bills and statements
- Catalogues and brochures
What about parcels?
If you're expecting a parcel and you're not going to be at your old address to receive it, you can use the Royal Mail Redirect service to have it redirected to your new address. Just make sure to specify the parcel service you're using (e.g. Royal Mail 24, Royal Mail 48, etc.) on the redirect form.
Tips and reminders
- Make sure to update your redirect service regularly to avoid missing important mail.
- If you're redirecting mail to a new address outside of the UK, you may need to use a different service, such as Royal Mail's International Redirect service.
- If you're redirecting a parcel, make sure to specify the parcel service you're using on the redirect form.
- Keep a record of your redirect reference number, as you'll need it to track your mail and parcels.
I hope that helps!
