I recently had a letter from an insurance company for the previous occupier.
Who moved 6 years ago.
And was buried some 2.5 years ago...
Letter is now in the jampot of wilted daffs on the grave.

I always use this when moving house, and based on no. of items forwarded by Royal Mail versus no. of items forwarded by the next occupant, I'd say Royal Mail has about an 80% success rate.

when we moved in 4 years ago. We still got their mail and had to redirect it.
We still get the old owners bank statements to this day!
We are also unfortunate enough to live at a house with the number 73!...why I here you ask? ....there is also a number 73 in the next road, where I have to collect my bloody mail from frequently...The Postie dosn't seem to notice the roads have different names....Bah!

My sister-in-law is currently using one, she reports all is well.

Well, seems most think they do a decent job. Hopefully I won't miss any of those letters telling me I've just won a million quid...

Just had my mail redirected from an office to my house.
Give the PO loads of notice to have this done. It took about 7 days (Should have been 5)
The postie knew we were moving and brought our mail to us until the process kicked in.

The guy that took over our flat was an absolute **** - too long a story to write here. However, we took out that service and it was fairly good.
However, my wife subscribed to every free offer that was going under the old address with the new owners name and then with our junk mail and the new junk mail, the guy must have gone mad after exactly one year we moved!!

I had problems, luckily the new owners of that house were good at putting stickers on and stuffing it back in the mailbox.
