mail forwarding

Postal route change

Mail forwarding is a postal service that redirects mail from one address to another.

People typically set up mail forwarding when they move, ensuring letters and packages sent to their old address reach them at the new one.

We arranged mail forwarding for six months after the move.

The service can be temporary or permanent, and is offered by postal services and private companies alike.
