Default 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...

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 twice, in fact, as the form they gave us a week previously had been superseded by one that required *different* id to complete.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
Simon

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