How do I return a package that is delivered to the wrong address?

Question

I recently received a package that is not mine, and it belongs to none of my neighbors. I have no time to drive all the way to the post office to drop off the package. What else can I do to return it?

Answer 1

This has happened to me fairly often because I just moved houses, so the previous owner's mail still gets delivered here.

All you have to do is in pen or sharpie write "wrong address" on the package/envelope. Then leave it in your mailbox and your mailcarrier will pick it up for you.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

If you can catch your mail carrier, just hand it back to him or her.
