How long will it take to get my account set up with you?

After signing up via our secure payment system, you’ll need to email us two pieces of identification (Passport/Driving Licence/National ID card and something with your address on it e.g. recent Utility bill/Bank Statement/Driving licence). Once we get this, we will have your account up and running immediately and you can start notifying people of your new office address.

1. Something to show us who you are (e.g. Passport/Driving Licence/National ID card)

2. Something with your address on it (e.g. Driving Licence/Recent Utility Bill/Recent Bank Statement) (Mail Forward Members – if the address you want your mail forwarded to is different from the address on your ID, then we will also need something official – Utility bill/bank statement – with your forward address on it).

What about parcels? Do you accept them?

Yes we accept small parcels. But only of a size that will fit through our letter box (SIZE – 18cm X 4cm). We may still accept parcels that are bigger than this, however, you will need to notify us first so we can expect its arrival. Subject to a reasonable use policy – please see our Terms & Conditions.

How regularly will I receive my mail?

If you are a Mail Scan Member, we will email you a scan of your mail the day it arrives. If you are a Mail Forward Member, we will forward your mail on to your specified address the day it arrives via 1st Class Royal Mail post.

What is the cost to have my mail forwarded?

All Mail Forward Members are required to pay a £20 postage deposit in advance. This will then be used to pay for the cost of a stamp to forward your mail to you 1st class via Royal Mail. When this is running low we will contact you so you can top it up, so there’s no delay in getting your mail to you.

How long will the £20 mail forward deposit last?

That depends on how much mail you have sent to you. In our experience, it does on average last for some months. E.g. if you receive around 4 pieces of mail a week, your £20 deposit will last approximately 2 months.

How much mail can I have delivered to me?

We operate a Reasonable Use Policy subject to a limit of 75 pieces of mail scanned or forwarded to you in a calendar month. If you exceed this, we will contact you to discuss suitable arrangements. Please see our Terms & Conditions.
