Question: 1 / 400

What happens if a package is undeliverable and marked as “return to sender”?

The package is destroyed

The package is sent back to the original sender

When a package is marked as “return to sender,” it means that the Postal Service has determined that the item cannot be delivered to the intended recipient for some reason. This could be due to an incorrect address, the recipient refusing the package, or it being unclaimed after an attempt at delivery. In such cases, the correct procedure is to return the package to the original sender.

This process ensures that the sender has the opportunity to rectify any issues, such as providing a correct address or deciding what to do next with the package. Returning the package helps maintain the integrity of the mail system and reinforces the responsibilities of both senders and recipients in managing their mail effectively. The other options would not align with standard postal practices regarding undeliverable mail.
