Many people receive mail that they do not want on a regular basis. This can be from companies that do not remove people from their lists or mailers that do not have the correct address on file. When this happens the best option is to return it back to the sender as a courtesy to them and to save time and money for everyone involved.
There are a few different ways to return mail to the sender depending on what type of letter or package you have. One way is to simply put the letter or package back into your mailbox. Make sure that you do not cover or cross out the original address, and also make sure to leave a sticky note on the letter or package that informs your postman that it is being returned.
Another option is to take the letter or package directly to your post office to be returned. This method is often more effective than returning items to your mailbox because it will likely get a better response from the postal service. This can also save you the expense of buying new postage.
To use this method, you will need to gather your item(s), a valid form of payment (cash or credit/debit card), and the necessary paperwork from the sender. Then, you will need to visit the postal service and weigh your item(s). If they have enough postage on them they will be able to return it to the sender for you.
