FAQ on PO Box Rental

Our Frequently asked Question section on PO Box rental will answers some of your questions on this service – on how you can practically collect your letters and mail and how this system works.

 

How to get your post sent to a PO Box in Paddington

Basically, a PO Box service lets you read your mail by yourself because there are lots of family members or other people at home who may read your mail. If you don’t like to let other people know about your mails then you can collect it from Reload Internet, a Store located in Paddington opposite Paddington Station which provides you with PO Box Rental services.

How does a PO Box work?

All Letters and mail which will be sent to your PO Box address will be stored onsite in your locked mailbox steel case. These Letters and mails will be kept safe onsite. All types of letters and mails are acceptable and can be stored.

What Happens if my letters require a signature?

Even if your letter or package requires a signature, the staff in Reload will sign on your behalf and place the letter in your PO Box and you can collect all your letters and mails from your PO Box during our opening times.

What are the advantages of having a PO Box?

Having a PO Box benefits you a lot which include:

  • The high profile, short address can be used that is relatively easy and simple to remember and can also keep you unnamed.
  • All your mails are completely secured because it requires your ID card to get an access.
  • You are not bound to pick up your mail when it’s delivered but you may have it whenever you want to.
  • It may provide you an official address with a business point of view.
  • You can also have some additional services like delivery of your mails from the PO Box.

How can you get a PO Box?

You can easily get your PO Box just by filling up an application form. This form is available by emailing us – and we can have your PO box setup in less than 24 hours.

We expect that you give accurate and legal information about your address and give mentioned payment along with the complete form. Payment can be made in store, in cash or credit card (not american express) – or by credit card if you are away from the store.

How to get your post redirected from your PO Box?

Now, if you have changed, moved or shifted your home and want to redirect your mails to new home address, you can do it. It is important to redirect the posts to avoid any kind of fraud act or also to avoid the loss of your mail at your old home address.

How does redirection work?
If you have changed your home temporarily or permanently, then through redirection, you will receive your mails that are sent at your previous home address to your PO Box at Reload.

To redirect your mails, you will have to apply for it. Your identification will be verified by checking your credit. The cost of redirection will depend on the time period of redirection and also on the number of names that you need to take in.

You can apply by sending an application form, at any branch of the post office and online too. The maximum time period of redirection of your mails is 2 years, after it, this service will be expired.

Now, some posts cannot be redirected which may include:
1- Mails for those companies or businesses which weren’t directing or lodging any business from your previous home address.
2- Those mails that belong to worldwide couriers which are not yet sent by Royal Mail.
3- Those mails which were to be delivered at your old address which was a lodging house, a college, a hotel or any publicly occupied building.
4- Mails which belong to BEPO –British Forces Post Office address.

Your mail was lost or hasn’t turned up:
The loss of any mail may be a big problem for our consumers as Royal Mail deals with 80 million mails and other related items in a single day. Chances of errors and omissions are there but it is vital that you complain about any lost mail with Royal Mail so that the errors and problems can be solved. With a PO Box rental service in Paddington you can be sure that you are in one of the UK’s best mail sorting offices,so the chances oflost mail are less than say in rural locations like Ayelsbury.

Most lost mail is due to the sender
• Entering an incorrect or wrong address.
• Redirection of your mail.
• Your mail was not collected and was missed.
• The postman wasn’t able to get access to your home.
• The mail was delivered from abroad which is taking time.
• The posting of your mail day may be on a public holiday.

If these are the problems and issues with your mail, then be patient, it may take a little bit of time and your delivery time may extend.
But if you think that your mail has definitely been lost and you haven’t received mail within 15 days, inform Royal Mail customer services and you can use this website to report your problem online. Applying for PO BOX rental services in Reload will certainly ensure that mail will not be lost, as our staff are trained on handling mail.
