Do you pay to have mail redirected after move?

[Thewayshetalks]

Do many people do this? Or just make sure you change address on anything of importance once moved?

This is a crucial & VFM service. Apart from the convenience it could also help to protect you from fraud.

I do both - I send change of address letters to everyone I can think of, and then I pay for the mail redirection service for a few months - I assume that, by the end of that time, I’ll have seen any people/organisations that I’d missed.

Yes. It’s not fair to ask the person moving into your old home to have to deal with your admin

Yes, last time I moved I paid for a year, and then renewed for another year. I suspect you'd need less time than that now as so much is online but I'd go for a year to start with.

Yes we did this and it’s definitely worth it, in the stress of moving it’s one less thing to worry about at the same time.

Yes. It’s polite but also ensures that you don’t forget anything.

Yes for at least 1 year to catch everything

I do both too. As SarahSissions said it’s not fair on the person who’d be receiving your mail, & also the three months or whatever of redirection gives you time to make sure you haven’t missed anything.

Yes, and write to all the companies to change address.
Can help prevent you being victim of fraud

Yes for at least a year.

If I move into your house you’ve got 3 months before I start binning everything addressed to you.

I have done mine for 3 months, I was just curious as four years later I am still getting post for various people who lived at the house I am at, I get the occasional parcel too
