Unclaim mail

The frustration of unclaimed mail!

Unclaimed mail, also known as undeliverable mail, is mail that cannot be delivered to its intended recipient due to various reasons such as:

  1. Incorrect or incomplete address
  2. Move without updating the address
  3. Mail returned to sender due to non-deliverable as addressed
  4. Mail lost or stolen
  5. Recipient deceased or unable to receive mail

If you're dealing with unclaimed mail, here are some steps you can take:

  1. Check with the sender: If you're the sender, try contacting the recipient to confirm their address or to ask if they've moved.
  2. Contact the post office: Reach out to your local post office or the post office where the mail was sent from. They may be able to help you track down the recipient or provide guidance on what to do next.
  3. Return to sender: If the mail is still in your possession, you can return it to the sender. Make sure to include a note explaining the situation and any relevant details.
  4. Donate or recycle: If the mail is no longer needed or useful, consider donating it to a local charity or recycling it.
  5. Report to the USPS: If you're unable to locate the recipient or return the mail, you can report it to the United States Postal Service (USPS) using their online form or by contacting their customer service.
