Can i send mail and the receiver pay postage

In most cases, the sender is responsible for paying the postage on a mailpiece. However, there are some exceptions and special arrangements that allow the recipient to pay the postage. Here are a few examples:

  1. Return Receipt Requested: When you send a mailpiece with a return receipt requested, the recipient can pay the postage to return the receipt to you. In this case, the recipient is responsible for paying the postage.
  2. Postage Due: If the recipient is not present to accept delivery, the mail carrier may leave a notice indicating that the package is "postage due." In this case, the recipient can pay the postage to receive the package.
  3. COD (Cash on Delivery): When you send a package COD, the recipient is required to pay the postage and any additional fees (such as handling charges) when they receive the package.
  4. Prepaid Return Service: Some companies offer prepaid return services, where the recipient pays the postage to return a package or item. This is often used for returns, exchanges, or other situations where the recipient needs to send something back to the sender.
  5. Special arrangements: In some cases, businesses or individuals may agree to pay the postage for a specific mailpiece or package. For example, a customer might agree to pay the postage for a return item or a subscription service might offer to pay the postage for a customer to return a product.

It's important to note that these exceptions are not common and usually require special arrangements or services. In most cases, the sender is responsible for paying the postage on a mailpiece.
