changing address tactics
August 10, 2003 09:46PM
<HTML>I will be moving address in a month or so.(i will keep my mail art contacts posted with my new address when i find one !)

I have to contact the post office and arrange for my mail to be diverted and forwarded to my new address in the next week or so, this is always a pain as they believe my tag to be business mail rather than personal mail, which results in frustrated conversations with me attempting to explain that it is not a business, but my name, but its also not my real name (as on my biirth certificate).

I was wondering what other mail artists do to get their mail directed towards a new address, are there different procedures in different countries with the different postal systems, or do you simply just let everyone know in advance and hope ??

<HTML>In the US, post offices will hold your mail for pick up until you can find a new address. When you have a new address there is a form to fill out for forwarding mail from the old address to the new address. The forwarding last about a year I think. I've moved twice since I became a mail artist and I know mail has gone astray, but most of it was forwarded with no hassle except filling out the form. Just in case, I told the people who moved into my old house my new address and they were nice about writing my new address and putting the mail back to be picked up again for correct delivery. One mail art system thing to do is to send the new address to Brain Cell for several times in a row. Many mail artists use Brain Cell to keep up to date with addresses.
good luck, honoria</HTML>
