Mail Away provides travellers with a method of having their mail collected and redirected to them when they stop for a while. This is a necessity when travelling. For example one new subscriber stated that he wished he had used these services sooner as he copped a speeding fine and by the time Australia Post caught up with him, the additional fine was well in excess of a year’s subscription to Mail Away. We also find Mail Away very useful when we receive unexpected and important information for our clients.
