In the USA it's an offence to handle someone else's mail. So if it is marked as return to sender, the mail is sent back to the company or person it was sent from. Yes we also have a rule that mail has to have a return address. Do you not have an option in the UK for mail to be forwarded to the correct recipient or sent back to the sender?
Yeah that might happen if there isnt a return address and if there is an a return address block out your address completely so it cant be seen or read any more and right return to. sender if there is one on the outside of the letter and post it bk in the post box but if not a return address on the outside you'll have to open checking if there is one on the letter and if so tape it bk up and out the address on the front but you may have to out a stamp on it if it isnt a free post address. Otherwise best to just shred it especially if its important and the old owner hasnt came bk in a period of time to collect letters pretty much. Love From Scotland xxxx
Not only do we ocassionally get post from the old neighbours, but we've started just getting them from randoms? Once a legal letter about a court date or something like that was sent. Like gosh-
I've lived at my place for 3 years now, i started sending letters back and it was FOUR TIMES they resent it to my address so i just bin them now.. wish they'd stop tho
I opened a letter once by accident casue i didnt realise it wasnt addressed to me – it was a court summons for some debt the previous tenant had and they threatened to send bailiffs.. they actually came and we had to show ID to prove we werent the people who owed money
We kept getting mail from a credit card company sending advertisements, but the person on the address wasn’t anyone in our household. In fact we have lived in our house for many many years. Not sure why out of the blue a letter to a random person was sent to our house. And this wasn’t just one it was many. We told the post office, but they didn’t do anything. Eventually the letters did stop, but only after a long while. I did try looking up the name, but no one in our town was listed under that name. There was one in the town next to use and a few elsewhere.
My husband and i are the 1st owner and only occupiers of our home. We somehow still get mail for people who we dont know and dont live here. Our address and a name we dont know.
This happens to me sometimes but happily the old owners friend lives nearby so we just go to her and give her the letter so she can give it to her friend
follow me! 💘

USPS must of learned this trick while we were still the colonies but they damn sure didn't forget it.

The level of ingnorance from the mail service is honestly baffling.
That male lady is so dumb🙄

My grandparents stayed with us for like, two months about ten years ago and we still get their mail.
Lol this keeps happening to me too

I was told you cross out your address and put RTS (return to sender) on top of the letter and it should be sent back to where it came from
My mum works for royal mail and she said this happened to me before
Now I see where USPS got it from
I’m from uk I’m from the United kingdom 🇧🇼🇬🇧
In the us you write return to sender so they don’t send it
@hollylaing where u getting these shirts from babes likes for? U have a McD’s, subway, post office, Primark, Tesco and what elsE?
In America we just let the mail stay there or it will say that the person does not live here and have it facing horizontally
My husband and i are the 1st owner and only occupiers of our home. We somehow still get mail for people who we dont know and dont live here. Our address and a name we dont know.
Drives me crazy, i get one persons mail all the time. Gave up up the USPS fixing it. i just start throwing it away now
My parents keep recieving mail for the old owners. We've lived here for over a decade now…
This happens to me sometimes but happily the old owners friend lives nearby so we just go to her and give her the letter so she can give it to her friend
Just pitch it
Well maybe read what is written in the letter that, that person does t live there anymore! Return to sender easy peasy!
I literally have been living in the same house since i was born so around 16 years and i still get the old owners mail
