How to mark mail as wrong address

The frustration of receiving mail intended for someone else!

To mark mail as "wrong address" or "undeliverable," you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Use a "Return to Sender" label

1. Place the mail on a flat surface.
2. Look for a small label or sticker on the envelope that says "Return to Sender" or has a similar message.
3. If you don't see a label, you can create your own using a marker or a label maker. Write "Return to Sender" or "Undeliverable" on the envelope.
4. Attach the label to the envelope, making sure it's visible and easy to read.

Method 2: Use a "Not at This Address" label

1. If the mail is addressed to a specific person or business, you can use a label that says "Not at This Address" or "Moved, No Longer at This Address."
2. You can purchase these labels at a post office or online.
3. Attach the label to the envelope, making sure it's visible and easy to read.

Method 3: Write a note on the envelope

1. If you don't have a label, you can write a note on the envelope explaining that the mail was sent to the wrong address.
2. Be clear and concise in your note. For example: "Wrong address. Please return to sender."
3. Sign your name and include your return address (if you want to receive any responses).

What to do with the mail

1. Once you've marked the mail as "wrong address," you can:
   • Return it to the post office or a mailbox.
   • Give it to the intended recipient (if you know who they are).
   • Dispose of it responsibly (e.g., recycle it).

Remember to always handle mail carefully and securely to prevent damage or loss.
