PO box

[Dee101]

Hi, we are a couple trying to find the cheapest way to have a PO box. The location is unimportant, though England is a must—we presume.
If anyone can help it would be most appreciated. We shall be full timing in our motorhome, mainly in the U.K.
Kind Regards
Del

Use The Post Office Service Post Restante​

Alternatively if you would prefer your mail to stay private you can use the Post Offices mail service called Post Restante which is totally free to use in the UK.

3 Simple Steps Of How Post Restante Works

1. Go to the branch you’d like your post sent to. Please note, the Poste Restante service may not be available everywhere.
2. Tell your friends, family and business contacts the Post Office address you’ll be picking up your mail from. This is how it should be addressed.
Your name
POST RESTANTE
Post Office name
Full address of the Post Office
Postcode of the Post Office
Country (if applicable)
Your Poste Restante address will be active straight away, but don’t forget to tell them they’ll need to include a return address on the back of the envelope.
3. Pop into your designated Post Office branch to pick up your mail, make sure to take a form of identification for you and in the UK proof of your address.

So, no good if you are full-timing and have no address then?

I think there are some agencies that offer telephone answering and mail collection services to small businesses. Perhaps one of those could help?

PO Box is no good if you need an address for Insurance etc purposes, you will need a street address, use family or good friend who will send on any post.
