Set up an authorisation to receive mail to have persons you trust receive items on your behalf

You can set up an authorisation to receive mail for up to 5 persons you trust. These persons will be able to receive all letters, packets, parcels and express items addressed to you. Items marked as "do not deliver to persons authorised to receive mail" are excluded because these can only be delivered to the person in question.
