We still get mail for the people who used to live at our place - we have been here for nearly two year. And the mail that keeps coming here is either from the bank, ACC or IRD!!! I just return to sender, haven't been at this address for nearly 2 years. ]]> Wed, 09 Mar 2011 12:48:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38310&PID=1281816&title=redirecting-post#1281816 <![CDATA[Redirecting post : At our place (we were there nearly...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38310&PID=1281708&title=redirecting-post#1281708 Author: MummyFreckle

At our place (we were there nearly 5 years) we used to get lots of mail for several of the previous occupants. If it was clearly "junk mail" I used to chuck it, if it looked official (like from a bank etc) I would return to sender, but to be honest I only did that if I remembered or if it suited me.

At my old house, we were still getting mail for the old tenants 2 years later. We just did return to sender, not at this address. The most ridiculous thing though, was one of the old tenants coming around after 2 years to "collect his mail" (he was getting IRD and Studylink stuff sent there as well). Yeah sorry mate, not going to happen.]]> Wed, 09 Mar 2011 09:31:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38310&PID=1281660&title=redirecting-post#1281660 <![CDATA[Redirecting post : IMO It depends on what the mail...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38310&PID=1281511&title=redirecting-post#1281511 Author: TrinaL

IMO It depends on what the mail is. I know when I have moved I have had NZPost redirect for the time they do. Three months I think and tried to get everything changed which are regulars but you always miss something and then at time like Christmas or birthdays when you get the odd piece of mail from someone you haven't had mail from for a while and they haven't updated their details. The ones that always worry me are the unsolicited ones you occasionally get from finance or credit card companies whiich might go to an old address and someone might use them.]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2011 21:26:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38310&PID=1281511&title=redirecting-post#1281511 <![CDATA[Redirecting post : we did it for ages in our last...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38310&PID=1281505&title=redirecting-post#1281505 Author: mrsturtle

I think 5 months is more than enough. Next time it happens to us I'll be done after 2 months. We forwarded mail to the previous owners of this house for about a year so they had 12 chances to get their act together and change their address (for the monthly bills etc). Now we return to sender with a big red RETURN TO SENDER, NOT AT THIS ADDRESS, GONE 2 YEARS, but even that's a PITA when companies won't change the address in their database and we get the same mail repeatedly.

Is it illegal to just dump incorrectly addressed mail if they won't update their details? Cos thats what I'm tempted to do now. I'm sick of having to keep a drawer spare for their mail until we take a load to the post shop.]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2011 14:39:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38310&PID=1281266&title=redirecting-post#1281266 <![CDATA[Redirecting post : For darn near a year we were getting...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38310&PID=1281235&title=redirecting-post#1281235 Author: lil_lease

For darn near a year we were getting mail for all sorts of people. I only had the forwarding address for one of them so would forward that mail on but the rest all got "Return to Sender"

Now if any shows up for anyone I'm just going to return to sender.]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2011 13:53:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38310&PID=1281235&title=redirecting-post#1281235 <![CDATA[Redirecting post : we still get mail very occasionally...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38310&PID=1281224&title=redirecting-post#1281224 Author: Mucky_Tiger

we still get mail very occasionally for the lady who used to live here. maybe like twice a year.
she died in 2007.
we write on it:
"return to sender
this person is deceased"

we once got a letter back from the bank of all people, addressed to "the new occupants" saying thank you for letting us know, we will remove her account from our systems. Due to family not getting in contact upon her death they did not know and asked if we had contact details for her family so they can collect her money

We kept getting mail for the previous owners for a year or 2. After about 6 months of forwarding mail, we just returned to sender. It seems to have stopped now (almost 6 years) so either they changed their address or the companies got sick of getting their mail back!]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2011 13:35:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38310&PID=1281219&title=redirecting-post#1281219 <![CDATA[Redirecting post : Return to sender.

Return to sender. We moved 5 months ago and changed all our addresses, just started getting mail addressed to the previous occupants and I'll be doing return to sender. If I can change my addresses then so can they, just lazy not to.]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2011 12:37:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38310&PID=1281175&title=redirecting-post#1281175 <![CDATA[Redirecting post : Thats just lazy of the previous...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38310&PID=1281167&title=redirecting-post#1281167 Author: pudgy

Thats just lazy of the previous owners

We still get mail for the previous owners here and we've been here over 4 years. I kept it for a while probably over a year and would pass it on but now it just gets returned to sender. The cheeky sod was still getting courier parcels delivered here and i only found out when I went on maternity leave with DD.

I'd just return to sender all the mail.

Edit for terrible typos

How long is courteous to redirect NZ Post to prior owners/tenants?

We have been in this house for 5 months now and the previous owners receive a prolific amount of post. I was forwarding everything on but as of now I'm returning to sender. It's obvious the previous owners aren't changing their address and are happy to rely on JessDub post. Grrr.

Or should I still be forwarding?!]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2011 12:23:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38310&PID=1281161&title=redirecting-post#1281161
