UK Parcel Forwarding & Savings Accounts
 

Parcel Forwarding:
Can anyone hint at a reliable service for UK parcel forwarding?
I’m about to lose access to my stealth return address and need an alternative. I live quite rurally and there is no physical solution for anything larger than an actual letter.
I’d also want to use it as a return address for non stealth purposes, I’m in the process of starting a venture where we make and sell things online in the low thousands price point (own website no PP). Our home address isn’t very prestigious so don’t really want to ruin the illusion, also we rent and the security aspect too.
The online world of PO boxes and forwarding seems a bit daunting some places just look a bit sketchy and others are pricey, which I wouldn’t mind paying if they are reliable service but they don’t seem to offer trials.
Any suggestions on how to weed out the good companies?

Savings Accounts:
If I had a savings account and closed it over a year ago, is it safe to reopen the same type of savings account with the same bank (RBS)? Stealth account it was attached to got toasted through a stupid mistake on my behalf, I closed the saver when all the money was withdrawn from PP.

I think most of the main ones are reliable, its more that it is pricey to get stuff forwarded, if you mean returns, you might be better off writing the return off depending on the cost of item. You need an ebay and paypal business account and then you can use the pobox, and will get a unit or suite number for it.

did the savings close for a reason to do with the bank not wanting you? If not, then safe to open with rbs or most banks, if you have a current acc already then it is pretty instant to open online via online banking...

Yeah some returns I already write off, once people open the factory seal there’s just no point in having them returned. One EB account only has a few returns a year, I could still make a decent profit on those even if I paid to have them forwarded. With the non-EB venture the cost of these items to me is around £3-500 each, so really want somewhere safe to have the returns or undeliverable items delivered to. I guess the problem is whether to believe the negative reviews some companies have or not.

I have a current account with RBS, I used to have an online saver attached to this account which I used for stealth. The stealth account was burned by EB only, no problems with PP or RBS but I closed the online saver down after all the funds were withdrawn. These can be freely open and closed online. If I open the same type of online saver will it be safe? Do they reuse information?

I am also looking an answer to this, If you close one savings due to that was attached with eb which burned down, and if you open new savings does the bank use same account number, I don't think so also you can check once opened but the real worry might be if this new savings with different account number be safe to use with an other stealth ebay. I have read people are using two three savings from same bank with two three different eb stealth.

May be someone else elaborate on this?

My question is when you withdraw money from pp to savings then savings to current, did you have any issue I heard bank can see stealth name on savings where the money coming from
