I have recently moved into a new apartment (about 4 weeks now) and I keep receiving mail from 3 previous tenants here. I don't want to recieve them anymore so I'm thinking maybe I should do a "return to sender". How is that done? Thanks!

can i write "return to sender" and put it in a one of the mail boxes on the street? Would that work or do I have to leave it in my mailbox?

You write on it, 'Return To Sender' and drop it in the Outgoing mail. If you recieve a lot of it, contact your post office.
I know that if you do open it, or just throw it away, you can actually be fined for doing so... if you're caught/ratted out. It's a federal offense to tamper with mail.

just write on the package return to sender or u can give it back to the mail person and let them take it back to the post office.

you write "return to sender" and leave the mail in your box. when your mailman delivers the mail.. they have it sent back... but your best option would be to open the mail, find the number for the person who's sending the mail, and contact them yourself. thats the only way you'll actually get it done. good luck.

batch them, put a rubber band around them, and a note for your postman, saying that those people no longer live at that address. Put them back in your box for the postman to pick up. It probably won't stop them, if there was no "change of address" filed at the Post Office, they will just keep coming. People don't file the proper forms at the post office, they don't want their bills to be forwarded to them. If we get mail in our box that belongs to a neighbor, I don't deliver it, I put it back for the postman.

If you're stateside (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA) there's a bar code on the bottom of the envelope usually. Blacken that out, write NOT AT THIS ADDRESS across the envelope, put it in your out going mail or post office.

well instead of doing that... take all your junk mail that you get... open up the return evelopes that you get with it... and stick all the mail you can into those envelopes, and then put it back in your box, and put up the flag... because they have to pay for it twice... once to send it and once to recieve it...

ask the Post office to cancel then from sending it
