How do I get a "Return to Sender" piece of mail back to the mailman if I don't have a mailbox?

Asked by TitsMcGhee (8281points) March 20th, 2009

I receive my mail from a mailroom in my building that does not handle outgoing mail. I found something in my box today for someone who doesn’t live here, and I’d like to mark it “return to sender.” Can I just drop it in any old blue sidewalk mail box, or is there something else I need to do?

That or your post office.

Mark it return to sender, and put it in any mailbox, anywhere.

Uh-oh, it’s from SWEDEN!

I feel terrible though – it looks really intriguing and I really want to open it. So what if it’s like a Federal crime or some shit like that?

Put it in a mailbox, if you open it, it becomes a Felony. Worse yet, their might be a germ or disease inside.

Never open someone else’s mail. Not only is it a crime, but you never what could be inside.

You don’t need to do anything special. You can just take it to your local post office.

As everyone else said. Blue collection boxes work fine too. However if you are around when the mail carrier comes you can hand it to them and/or explain too.
