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:
- Undeliverable address: The address on the mailpiece is incorrect, incomplete, or doesn't exist.
- Insufficient postage: The postage on the mailpiece is insufficient to cover the cost of delivery.
- Refused by addressee: The person or business at the address has refused to accept the mailpiece.
- 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).
- 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:
- Check the return reason: Look at the return label or the reason code on the returned mailpiece to determine why it was returned.
- Correct the issue: Fix the problem that caused the mail to be returned (e.g., update the address, add sufficient postage, etc.).
- Resend the mail: Once the issue is resolved, you can resend the mailpiece to the correct address.
- 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.
Some additional tips:
- Make sure to use the correct address format and spelling.
- Verify the address with the recipient before sending the mailpiece.
- Use a trackable shipping method to ensure your mailpiece is delivered.
- Keep a record of your mailpieces, including the tracking number and the date sent, in case you need to track or resend the mail.
