Mail voiders
Mail voiders! Those pesky little pieces of paper that can cause so much frustration when trying to send important documents or packages.
A mail voider is a small piece of paper or label that is placed over the postage area of an envelope or package to indicate that the postage has been voided or cancelled. This is usually done when the package is being returned to the sender, or when the postage has been paid in full and the package is being sent back to the sender.
Here are some common reasons why mail voiders are used:
- Return to sender: When a package is undeliverable or the recipient is not available, the mail carrier will often attach a mail voider to the package and return it to the sender.
- Paid in full: When the postage has been paid in full and the package is being sent back to the sender, a mail voider is used to indicate that the postage has been cancelled.
- Damaged or defective: If a package is damaged or defective, the mail carrier may attach a mail voider to the package and return it to the sender.
- Insufficient postage: If the postage on a package is insufficient, the mail carrier may attach a mail voider to the package and return it to the sender.
Mail voiders are usually marked with a "VOID" stamp or a similar message to indicate that the postage has been cancelled. They are an important part of the mail processing system, as they help to ensure that packages are properly handled and returned to the sender when necessary.
I hope that helps! Do you have any other questions about mail voiders?
