Change Of Address

I recently moved. Despite all of the million things that goes along with moving that needs to be done, informing the entire world of your change of address is something that needs to be done fairly quickly. I barely had any boxes unpacked before a postal worker was knocking on my door asking me if I'd filled out a change of address card. I told her that I had the little postcards but it was most likely buried in one of the million boxes. She was very kind and had me fill one out while she waited. I was a bit perplexed at her inquiry and not used to having a postal worker delivering mail to our front porch. Apparently in my new neighborhood, that was normal.

So, I filled out a change of address with post office. That simply meant that all of my mail could and would be forwarded to my new address with those little yellow stickers on all of it. It would be up to me to contact all of the people I got mail from and let them know of my change of address. There are postcards or forms that you can purchase or print out with the basics that you can mail to everyone on your list. My utilities were already all informed of my change of address because they had to hook everything up in my new house. I needed to contact my credit cards companies and the bank with my car loan to let them know of my change of address. Some of them wanted it in writing, others would make the change of address over the phone. I did get a hard time about having a new phone number from a few companies because I did not yet have my phone line activated. For the most part, moving is an everyday occurrence so taking a change of address is not uncommon to companies.

I sent letters to the magazines that I subscribed to as well as any catalogs that I wanted to continue to receive. I do know, from experience, that even though the postal service may have a change of address for you, they might not forward magazines and catalogs. The people who move into your old residence may find themselves holding the magazines that you paid for and getting some free catalogs. I put in a change of address for my driver's license as well, pleased to discover that for a small fee, I could do that online and have the change of address card mailed to me. That saved me quite a bit of time. After I was satisfied that I had given my change of address to everyone who needed to know, I could focus on unpacking the rest of my boxes. Lucky me.
