How do i return to sender mail
You're referring to the "Return to Sender" mail feature!
To return a piece of mail to the sender, you can use a special label or a service provided by your local post office. Here are the steps:
Option 1: Use a Return to Sender Label
- Go to a post office or a retail store that sells postage.
- Purchase a "Return to Sender" label, which is usually a pre-printed label with the words "Return to Sender" and the sender's address.
- Attach the label to the original envelope or package.
- Mail the item back to the sender.
Option 2: Use a Post Office Service
- Take the original envelope or package to a post office.
- Inform the postal clerk that you want to return the item to the sender.
