Letters from abroad

Letters from abroad.

Hi, we are moving to Valencia pretty soon and we are getting excited. However, we are going through the practicalities and one very important one is receiving letters from family and friends and bank correspondence etc. Does anyone receive letters from their home countries? If not, what other options do you use? Many thanks in advance.

 

Thank you!

 

usglobalmail.com a private mailbox service in Texas. They will forward your mail anywhere in the world or you can have them scan it to pdf file and download it.
Highly recommended.

 

Normal (snailmail) from UK takes about 2 months, but it does get here. Best to go into the post office in Valencia and introduce yourself.

 

Thanks! Letters will mainly come from UK. If postal service almost non existent here, how do you get important monthly correspondence such as bank statements delivered to you? It is beginning to look like a nightmare

 

Thank you but letters will mainly come from our UK banks. Will check it out anyway and posts on here for update

 

Thank you! Feeling slightly relieved. Will certainly do that asap

 

I use online banking to check statements etc. I would go talk to your bank before moving here, to discuss 'change of address' getting new cards delivered etc. Different banks have different rules, and some are reluctant to send new cards by courier - although that does work - I've done it. In general, try to reduce your mail to an absolute minimum.
