How do you return to sender mail

The classic "Return to Sender" conundrum!

If you've sent a letter or package and want to return it to the sender, here are the steps you can follow:

For a letter:

  1. Write "Return to Sender" or "Refused" on the front of the envelope in large, clear letters.
  2. If you have the sender's address, you can also include a note with their address and a brief explanation of why you're returning the letter.
  3. Place the letter back in the mail, making sure to affix the correct postage (if you're using a new stamp).
  4. Take the letter to a post office or mailbox and hand it over to the postal worker or deposit it in the mailbox.

For a package:

  1. Contact the sender and ask them to arrange for the return of the package. You can do this by phone, email, or by sending a message through a delivery service's website (e.g., UPS, FedEx).
  2. If the sender is unwilling or unable to arrange for the return, you can contact the shipping carrier (e.g., USPS, UPS, FedEx) and ask for their assistance.
  3. The carrier may require you to fill out a return merchandise authorization (RMA) form or provide other documentation before they can process the return.
  4. Once the return is arranged, the carrier will pick up the package from your location or you can take it to their facility.
