Why did the post office/mailman write "red" on my package?

Question

Yesterday, August 21st, I received a package --a book-- from a fellow PaperbackSwap member. Either the mailman or the post office had written "RED" on the package, and a date (8/20/08) below.

What does it mean? Does the "RED" stand for "redelivered" or something like that? I'm just curious, especially since I recently received another PBS package that had a few cents of postage due. I wonder if it could be a similar issue.

(By the way, I very rarely see the mailman when he comes, so I cannot ask him.)

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Answer 2

I'm not really sure, but your package shouldn't have had any writing on it other than what you were expecting. Maybe someone wrote "READ" and the "A" was faded? I would ask the post office why that was on the package just to be safe.

Answer 3

Redelivered
