How to send mail back to sender usps
To send mail back to the sender using the United States Postal Service (USPS), you can follow these steps:
- Return to Sender: If the mailpiece has a "Return to Sender" label or a notation on the envelope, you can simply place the mailpiece in a USPS mailbox or take it to a post office.
- Undeliverable As Addressed (UAA): If the mailpiece is undeliverable due to an incorrect or incomplete address, you can take it to a post office and ask the postal clerk to mark it as "Undeliverable As Addressed" (UAA). The USPS will then return the mailpiece to the sender.
- Return Receipt Requested: If you want to confirm that the mailpiece was returned to the sender, you can request a return receipt. To do this, you'll need to attach a return receipt request (RRR) label to the mailpiece. The sender will then receive a confirmation when the mailpiece is returned.
- Postage: Make sure to affix the correct postage to the mailpiece before sending it back to the sender.
Tips:
- If the mailpiece is damaged or has no return address, you may need to contact the sender directly to request their return address.
- If you're unable to determine the sender's return address, you can contact the USPS Customer Service department for assistance.
- Keep in mind that the USPS may not be able to return mailpieces that are undeliverable due to a non-existent or incorrect sender address.
