How do i return mail that isn't mine

Returning mail that isn't yours is a responsible and considerate thing to do. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you handle the situation:

  1. Check the return address: Before you do anything, make sure you're not the intended recipient. Check the return address on the envelope or package to see if it's addressed to someone else.
  2. Verify the contents: If the mail is not addressed to you, open it carefully to verify the contents. Make sure you're not opening anything that might be confidential or sensitive.
  3. Look for a forwarding address: Check the mail for a forwarding address or a note indicating that the sender has moved. If you find a forwarding address, you can send the mail to that address.
  4. Contact the sender (if possible): If you can't find a forwarding address, try contacting the sender using the contact information provided on the mail. You can call or email them to let them know you have their mail and ask for their instructions on how to return it.
  5. Return the mail to the post office: If you can't contact the sender or find a forwarding address, you can take the mail to your local post office. They will help you determine the best course of action and may be able to forward the mail to the intended recipient.
  6. Fill out a "Change of Address" form (if necessary): If you're unable to find the intended recipient, you can fill out a "Change of Address" form with the post office. This will help the post office forward the mail to the correct address.
