Royal mail redirection
 
Is is possible to set this up online for Canada? Canada doesn't come up in the list of countries from which one can select...:confused:

Seems like you've answered your own question... :confused:

We currently have a re-direction setup for Canada but that started in 2010, not sure why North America countries are not on list.

From Canada ? I think the issue is accessing it from Canada. I know we set it up before we left in the UK back in 2007.

we had it re-directed to my mother-in-law in the UK. For our UK business, we used one of these PO Box companies in London. You have your mail re-directed to them - they scan it and email it to you as frequently as you pay for it to be. Since we were disposing of the UK company, this was one a week, then once a month. Quite reasonable rates too.

The PO Box company would then post the originals of the mail to us once a month.

It's not... another example of spectacularly badly designed website forms.... ;)

We just did this ahead of a move over to BC at the end of the month and ended up having to go in person to a PO ... twice, in fact, as the form they gave us a week previously had been superseded by one that required *different* id to complete. Oh, and the price had gone up nearly 30% as well....

Cheers

We're going to redirect to relatives in the UK. Much simpler on balance.
