Can i reject mail that is properly addressed to me

In general, it is not recommended to reject mail that is properly addressed to you. Here's why:

  1. Legal obligations: As a recipient of mail, you have a legal obligation to accept and handle mail in a responsible manner. The United States Postal Service (USPS) and other postal services have rules and regulations in place to ensure that mail is delivered to the intended recipient.
  2. Privacy and security: Rejecting mail that is properly addressed to you could potentially compromise the privacy and security of the sender and the contents of the mail. Mail is considered private property, and it's important to respect the sender's right to send and receive mail.
  3. Consequences: If you reject mail that is properly addressed to you, you may face consequences, such as:
    • The sender may contact you to resolve the issue, which could lead to unwanted communication or even legal action.
    • The USPS or other postal services may take action against you, such as suspending or terminating your mail service.
    • You may be liable for any damages or losses resulting from the rejection of the mail.

That being said, there are some limited circumstances where you may be able to reject mail that is properly addressed to you:

  1. Undeliverable mail: If the mail is undeliverable due to an incorrect address or other reasons, you may be able to return it to the sender or the USPS.
  2. Harassment or threats: If you receive mail that is harassing, threatening, or otherwise illegal, you may be able to report it to the authorities and request that it be intercepted or returned to the sender.
  3. Special circumstances: In rare cases, you may be able to reject mail that is properly addressed to you due to special circumstances, such as a court order or a legitimate reason for not accepting the mail (e.g., a business that is no longer operating).

In summary, it's generally not recommended to reject mail that is properly addressed to you. Instead, you should accept and handle the mail in a responsible manner, and address any issues or concerns with the sender or the USPS.
