Don't always count on that 1 year forwarding. They tell you that but more often than not it's not the case and you have to keep on top of them to make sure. I've moved several times and when I knew I was moving all requests stopped until I had the new address.

I've moved several times as well. A couple of times I received forwarded successes, but in this last move somehow our mail was not forwarded because they lost our change of address form.

I would recommend you not send until you have the new address. Since you are moving in 6 days I assume you know the address of the place where you are moving and you can keep right on writing as long as you put your NEW address on the SASE and return label.

P.S. I would not keep using the old address stickers, unless it is to a friend or someone you know very well.

You pay for your address labels? Most companies will send them to you for free..

You can also buy sheets of the labels and print them yourself on your computer. If you have a printer.
