Returning Mail From an Address That Isn't Yours

 

not at this address return to sender

If you're receiving mail from an address that isn't yours, you may want to return it to sender. This is a legal option. But before you do it, you should know what the correct wording is for the type of parcel you're returning.

When you receive a piece of mail, the first thing to do is check the envelope to see if it has a return to sender label. A return to sender label is a simple way for the recipient to get the mail back.

It is important that you don't try to change the address on the mail. Doing so can cause problems. You will need to contact the United States Postal Service to explain the situation.

Several different reasons can lead to an item being returned to the sender. The USPS will work with you to figure out what happened. For example, if the addressee didn't live at the address, the address is no longer valid and the postal service can't deliver the mail.

Other reasons for a mail item to be returned to the sender include if it hasn't been opened. If the item hasn't been opened, you can give it to the delivery person or take it to the Post Office.

You can also write "Refused" or "No Longer at this Address" on the envelope. This will let the sender know that you don't want the mail.

While it might not have a real purpose, a sticky note can have the same effect. In addition to mentioning your name and the contents of your mailbox, you can mention what address the mail came from.
