PO Box's for redirecting mail
Hi there,
Just looking into redirecting our mail from UK to OZ and the Royal Mail are happy to redirect to a PO Box overseas, but what I can't seem to find out from the Auspost website is whether we can order a PO Box from this country or do we need to do it once we get there. We don't really have any contacts we could use in Oz to send post to.
I would prefer to just redirect once, rather than to my Brothers address for a month, and then another once we get settled in Oz.
Anybody set up a PO box in Oz from the UK??
Thanks
Judith

Thanks anyway - I think we will have to think again with the PO Box, definately can't get one unless you are already in Oz.
