Mail Forwarding Services

Has anyone used any services like www.expatmail.co.uk for managing their UK post after emigrating to the US? Would love to hear some real world experiences of such services before I consider using one.

Thanks in advance!

I used Royal Mail's redirection service to have everything sent to me in the US and had no problems at all.

I used RM's redirection service for years. I found it very useful when buying things from M&S online. :sneaky:

Thanks everyone - was considering it so that I could still get things from places that only ship to the UK, didn't realise that RM forwarding would still allow that to happen. Great stuff!

I don't think RM ship packages now...worth checking.

mr_bluth,

Are you an Arrested Development fan, or is that just your name?
