Default Mail Handling and Cruising

St. Brendans Isle gives excelent mail forwarding service. The UPS
Stores (formerly Mailboxes Etc) will forward mail but they are not as
flexable about delivery methods as St.Brendans.

OTOH, It probably would not be worth the effort for just a month or two.
By the time you got the addresses all changed you would have to change
them back. For that short a period you might even trust your brother in
law. :-)


We had a local Mailboxes Etc hold and forward our mail. Initally the
service was good, but while we were in Vanuatu a worker at MBE took
the liberty of keeping our mail, emptying our bank accounts, and
setting up new credit accounts at her home in our names... We only
discovered the problem when MBE contacted us because my bank refused
to pay MBE's bill because there was no money left in the account. I
haven't the time to type in the whole hariy story, but three years
after the fact we are still dealing with the fall out. So be
careful. Also, it is worth noting that when you are done with a
commercial mail service you will need to have them provide forwading
to your new address since the USPS will not forward or provide address
correction from a non-residential address.

Good luck!
