I have to pay to have my mail forwarded?

That sucks!
Luckily we didn't need to do that since we still had access to the corporate apartment we stayed in. You're forwarding from where you stay now to the apartment you rented?

Is mail forwarding free in the US?

If your company has paid to relocate you and they were paying for temporary accommodations while you house hunted - why not ask them if you can expense it?

We moved this summer and I'm about to extend our mail forwarding and pay the fees. Really, it's my problem - I cannot be bothered to make a list of every single place that has our address and then call and change it.

Pretty much. You pay a $1 online. Which is basically to verify your identity or something like that I can't remember too well. haha They will forward for a year on regular mail.

Sorry @rock-n-Voll it probably is just annoying thing. All the little expenses to transfer to your new place add up.

@rock-n-Voll I remember how those expenses added up for the international move. Felt like there were a few extras in the UK compared to Canada like utility deposits (one was £250!) and rental agent fees.

I don't remember even paying $1 in the U.S. It was definitely free at some point, but $1 I can stomach.

fbf2006, Also, off-topic, but why aren't you coming to either of the London GTGs being set up?

I am actually coming this evening. I pm'ed ukyankee last weekend and she added me to the reservation. I initially thought I couldn't make it.

A year for free?! Wow!

6 months of mail forwarding in Norway costs $75.
