calNgary Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 A lot of people use their arrival / temp accommodation for an arrival address and then change it once you have secured a longer term rental. I have noticed PO Boxes are very popular here though so they must be of value to many. Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Unless you know someone in Australia who could take a PO Box out for you it would be difficult, if not impossible - there are strict ID requirements in place to prevent criminal use of them. We had our post redirected to my parents from the UK & let them open it and forward anything important, we found we could deal with a lot over the phone/on-line anyway. Is there someone in the UK you could trust to do that? It would be pretty expensive I think but there are also on-line PO Boxes where essentially an agency opens and scans your mail and then you access it on-line and you advise what you want doing with it. It is more aimed at businesses but I can't see why an individual couldn't use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
