What is the meximum redirection time in ryal mail

A very specific question!

According to Royal Mail's guidelines, the maximum redirection time for mail sent to a UK address is 12 months. This means that if you redirect your mail to a new address, you can do so for up to 12 months from the original delivery date.

Here are some key points to note:

  1. The redirection period starts from the original delivery date, not the date you submit the redirection request.
  2. You can only redirect mail for a maximum of 12 months. After this period, you'll need to update your address with the sender or use a new redirection service.
  3. Royal Mail will not redirect mail that is more than 12 months old. If you're trying to redirect mail that is older than 12 months, you'll need to contact the sender directly.
  4. If you're redirecting mail to a new address outside the UK, the redirection period may be shorter due to international postal regulations.

It's worth noting that Royal Mail offers different types of redirection services, including:

  1. Redirection: This service redirects mail to a new UK address for up to 12 months.
  2. Redirection Plus: This service redirects mail to a new UK address for up to 12 months and also includes additional features, such as forwarding of large items and packages.
  3. International Redirection: This service redirects mail to a new address outside the UK for up to 6 months.

If you have any further questions or concerns about Royal Mail's redirection services, I recommend contacting their customer service team directly.
