Usps mail returned

The frustration of having a piece of mail returned by the USPS!

There are several reasons why your mail might be returned by the USPS. Here are some common ones:

  1. Undeliverable address: The address on the mailpiece is incorrect, incomplete, or doesn't exist.
  2. Insufficient postage: The postage on the mailpiece is insufficient to cover the cost of delivery.
  3. Refused by addressee: The person or business at the address has refused to accept the mailpiece.
  4. Not deliverable as addressed: The mailpiece cannot be delivered to the address as written (e.g., due to a typo, incorrect zip code, or missing apartment number).
  5. Return to sender: The mailpiece was returned to the sender because it was unable to be delivered.

What to do if your mail is returned:

  1. Check the return reason: Look at the return label or the reason code on the returned mailpiece to determine why it was returned.
  2. Correct the issue: Fix the problem that caused the mail to be returned (e.g., update the address, add sufficient postage, etc.).
  3. Resend the mail: Once the issue is resolved, you can resend the mailpiece to the correct address.
  4. Contact the USPS: If you're unsure about what to do or need assistance, you can contact the USPS customer service at 1-800-275-8777.
