Accidentally put regular mail in express mailbox

Don't worry, it's an easy mistake to make! If you've accidentally put regular mail in an Express Mail mailbox, here are a few things you can do:

1. Check with the post office: If you can, go back to the post office where you deposited the mail and ask the postal worker if they can intercept the mail and redirect it to the regular mail sorting facility. They may be able to do this, especially if the mail is still in the building.
2. Contact the USPS: You can also contact the United States Postal Service (USPS) customer service department and explain the situation. They may be able to help you track down the mail and redirect it to the correct destination. You can reach them at 1-800-275-8777 (1-800-ASK-USPS).
3. Wait it out: If the above options don't work, you can simply wait for the mail to be delivered and then forward it to its intended recipient. This might take a few days, depending on the mail's destination and the processing time.
4. Consider a correction: If the mail is already on its way, you can try contacting the recipient and letting them know that the mail was sent via Express Mail by mistake. They may be able to adjust their expectations and wait for the mail to arrive.

Remember to double-check the mailbox labels and instructions before depositing your mail in the future to avoid this mistake again!
