Last week’s blog post was about what the most important items you need for your first night after the move. Today’s post is another important one when it comes to just before you move. Make sure you plan ahead and take care of this before you move! Contact us to know more about ‘Where to Send Mail When You’re Moving’.
Moving but need your mail? Where should it go? These are questions that have plagued movers for years and can cause you an undue amount of stress, but fear not, there is an answer! That answer is: it depends.
There are two types of mail issues you may encounter when moving – first, where does it go on the front side of the move while you are working to stop the flow of mail to what will soon not be your address? And second, on the back end of a move, while you may not have a box at your house or may still be looking for a house, where should that mail go? Fortunately the answers to both of these questions are the same.
If you have friends or family nearby, ask them to temporarily receive your mail. It’s even better if your friend is a coworker, as they can bring your mail to work. Consider having mail sent to your work or office, depending on your work environment or relationship with your boss. This ensures you receive important or time-sensitive mail regularly.
Of course the last and most traditional of all mail destinations is a box. If there are no post boxes, get a P.O. box at the post office or shipping center. You can rent or buy these for a small fee, and most towns in Canada have one nearby.
