How do you get unclaimed mail

The thrill of the hunt for unclaimed mail! Here are some ways to get your hands on unclaimed mail:

  1. Local Post Office: Visit your local post office and ask if they have any unclaimed mail. They may have a "dead letter" box or a "lost mail" section where they store undeliverable mail.
  2. USPS Website: The United States Postal Service (USPS) has a website called www.usps.com/lostmail where you can search for unclaimed mail. You can enter the recipient's name, address, or a description of the mail to see if it's listed.
  3. Online Marketplaces: Websites like eBay, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace often have listings for unclaimed mail. Be cautious when purchasing from these sources, as some items may be stolen or counterfeit.
  4. Auction Houses: Some auction houses, like the USPS's own auction site, www.uspssales.com, sell unclaimed mail and other postal items.
  5. Estate Sales and Auctions: Attend estate sales and auctions in your area, as you may find unclaimed mail or postal items being sold.
  6. Local Classifieds: Check local online classifieds, such as Gumtree, Oodle, or Letgo, for people selling unclaimed mail.
  7. Post Office Auctions: Some post offices hold auctions for unclaimed mail, which can be a great way to find rare or valuable items.
  8. Government Auctions: The US government occasionally auctions off unclaimed mail, which can include rare or valuable items. You can search for government auctions on websites like www.govdeals.com or www.federalauction.com.
