Poste Restante seems to only hold mail for two weeks.

What are the alternatives?




Just typed Royal mail hold post ...

They will hold mail for up to 60 days


Said solution now having been repeatedly mentioned.


I only read the 1st 7 posts - didn't read them all... never mind


S'all right. Good responses all round, and as I said, all been sorted by
neighbour coming in.
