BFPO

It will affect Open University students who have a BFPO address as they will be charged higher fees; it will potentially affect children of serving soldiers when they go to University, as they may not be eligible for student loans/fees to be paid, and will be charged higher fees as they live abroad.

Amongst other things the loss of the BFPO service will disenfranchise them if they are postal voters; some credit card providers will not send cards abroad (M&S for example) whereas they will to a BFPO address; it may affect their ability to let their house whilst posted abroad, or away from home; it may take away their tax advantages such as being able to have an ISA whilst posted abroad.

The BFPO system is the mechanism whereby post is received by our serving soldiers, sailors and airmen and their families abroad at a postal address recognised as being part of this country, no matter where in the world they are serving, even in war zones.

Ok Boys and Girls, just to take it off tac slightly ... a lot of the time I order things from places like Ebay I get the same response from most people that the Royal Mail are charging extortionate costs for postage stating that they have to pay for international postage to BFPO addresses, but don't get me wrong I am sure they only have to deliver to Mill Bank in London ...
