Still, there are a few things on your moving house checklist that only you can do, such as change your address for all your services and subscriptions. While people have to request a change of address themselves, we can use our expertise to make it much more convenient. To do so, we have compiled the ultimate change of address checklist you\u2019ll ever need to when moving house.<\/p>\n

Why You Must Change The Address When Moving?<\/h2>\n
\"Confidential

Confidential Mails Received at Home<\/p><\/div>\n

The obvious aspect is that you may miss important mail information from the government, bank, insurance and other companies.<\/p>\n

Also, you sometimes cannot have automatic recurring payments. In that case, invoices are mailed to your address for you to pay. If when moving you do not change your address, you may face issues at some point. It can result in missing the billing cycle for a company and having penalties for late payments or even worth, they can cut the service you use.<\/p>\n

Another aspect to consider is your privacy. We tend to forget that mails we receive are private and contain personal information. We don\u2019t want them being opened and read by other people. Hopefully, most often people who moved into your old home will let you know and\/or post them back to the sender.<\/p>\n

All in all, it is always easier to change your address while you are still living in the same place rather than living on the other side of the world. You can also thank technology. Nowadays, more and more services and utility providers have a website where you can change and update your details 24\/7.<\/p>\n

Is Mail Redirection Service Useful?<\/h2>\n

Mail redirection is a great service that will help you not to miss any mail. Basically, redirection services such as the one offered by<\/span> Australia Post<\/span><\/a> in Australia redirect your mail for a certain period. All the mails are received and held at the post office. Then they are redirected to the new address of your choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, Australia Post offers several options from personnel\/concessions to home office and business. It starts from 1 month and up to 12 months of mail and parcel redirection. If you are a family and people receive mail at the same address, the service allows you to redirect up to 6 names for the same price. The good news is that the Australia Post redirection service works within Australia as well as overseas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another great feature of this service is the option to notify banks, energy providers and telcos of your change of address automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n

That being said, keep in mind that it\u2019s a great short-term solution. You will still have to request and update your details with the organisations your need for a long term move. But that gives you a little time to do the procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Keep Track of the Mail You Receive?<\/h2>\n

Our quick pro tip for keeping track of your important incoming mail is to put down a list of the names of companies or organisations they are from. By doing so, changing your address the D-day will be much easier.<\/span><\/p>\n
