What happens if package is sent back to sender

How long it takes for mail to be returned to the sender. How long does it take for a mailpiece to be returned to sender? The amount of time that it takes mail to be returned to sender will vary based on the services that have been purchased for the mailpiece, the mail class used to send the mailpiece, and mail services that affect delivery time - such as a Change of Address or Hold.

Certain services or mailpieces also require the intended recipient to be available at time of delivery. Keeping these factors in mind, it is best not to have expectations regarding how long it will take a mailpiece to be returned to the sender - except in the case of mail that is on the Second and Final Notice and Return Dates Chart.

How do I receive tracking notification if my mailpiece is returned to sender? My mailpiece was returned to me twice. Postal employees and our high-speed equipment have only a brief second to look at an envelope, read information and enter it for processing. For this reason, we ask that any returned mail, upon being mailed again, be enclosed in a separate new envelope with new postage to ensure prompt processing. This also helps to avoid mail being returned to the sender a second time.
