Royal Mail Redirection to Your Phone, Tablet and PC
Royal Mail Redirection, coupled with our Smart Mail App, gives you ultimate control over your post. Read your letters online, forward mail to anywhere in the world, or have us store it until you’re ready to receive it.
Redirect mail to us and read it online
Linking a Royal Mail Redirection to a UK Postbox account is a powerful combination. Instead of relying on overseas postal services and running the risk of lost or delayed post, you can have Royal Mail redirect your mail to us, for you to manage and access online.
Protect your identity
When you move it’s important you don’t leave your identity behind. Using Royal Mail’s Redirection Service ensures post won’t go to your old address. But what if you move a lot or don’t have a new address? That’s where we come in. Add a UK Postbox account to benefit from our Virtual Mailbox Service.
