Mail Box & Addressing Changes
IMPORTANT MAIL CHANGES
Published 10 September 2018
As previously notified changes have been imposed on the post
boxes (buzones) by Correos.
The work has been completed. Mail deliveries by Correos have
returned to normal including any mail held while the works
were in progress.
All locks were replaced and all the box numbers were
reassigned.
Unfortunately, there is a cost to these changes for the
materials involved, but no charge is being made to the labour
element involved in these changes.
You can obtain your new keys as follows.
You must bring your existing buzon keys for exchange.
To obtain your new key after the works have been completed
please visit our gestor (MAP) PACO ALCARAZ, San Pedro 35,
05390, Altea Tel. 965841298. You must surrender your
existing buzon keys and on payment of 30 Euro they will give
you your new keys which will be tagged with your new box
number.
IMPORTANT - Mail Addressing for the new buzones.
Your new buzon is being treated by Correos as an extension of
your property as if mail deliveries were being made directly to
your house. The number on your buzon is only there for
you to recognise which box is yours and does not form
part of your mail address.
All mail must conform to your house address. Mail is
delivered to your house address and not to your buzon
number. Correos will know which box belongs to a particular
house. If your mail is addressed to a buzon number
only, that mail will not be delivered.
Ensure that all mail is addressed properly.
Example. (Note: no buzon number in the address)
Calle Azalea, 16
Sierra de Altea 1
Altea la Vella
03599
Alicante
Remember your box is now an extension of your property for
all mail purposes.
Remember to contact all those that use your mail
address and have them amend it to the new correct
format.
