How Mail Forwarding Works

Mail forwarding allows you to use a London virtual address for all your correspondence while having the physical mail delivered to wherever you actually are — whether that is a home address, an office, or an address abroad.

1

Mail arrives at your London address

Letters and packets addressed to your Basely Virtual address are delivered to our Covent Garden premises by Royal Mail and courier services. Our team receives and logs every item.

2

Each item is logged

We record the sender name (if visible), approximate size, and arrival date for every item. This creates a full mail log in your dashboard — even before any scanning or forwarding takes place.

3

You receive a notification

An email notification is sent to you as soon as mail is logged. The notification includes the sender details and the date received, so you always know what has arrived.

4

Items are batched

Depending on your forwarding schedule — weekly, fortnightly, or on-demand — your mail is accumulated and prepared for dispatch. On-demand requests are processed the same or next business day.

5

Forwarded to your address

Your bundle is dispatched via Royal Mail or a tracked courier service to the forwarding address registered in your account. You will receive tracking information once the parcel is collected.

6

Delivery confirmed

Once delivered, the items are marked as forwarded in your dashboard. For tracked deliveries, the tracking status is also updated.

Types of mail we handle

  • Standard letters and envelopes (all sizes)
  • Legal documents and contracts
  • Bank correspondence and statements
  • HMRC and Companies House notices
  • Small packets and padded envelopes

International mail forwarding

We forward mail to addresses worldwide. International shipments are sent via tracked services with estimated delivery times of 3–10 business days for Europe and 5–14 business days for the rest of the world, depending on destination.

International forwarding may incur additional postage costs depending on the destination country and total weight of the bundle. These costs are charged in addition to your subscription plan. Contact us for international forwarding rates.
