More often, the receiver will be charged the extra postage. This is a big faux pas if you are mailing in job search materials. Weigh the envelope and look up the postage per ounce to avoid this situation.
Yes, a return address is not necessary for delivery as long as the recipient's address is correct and adequate postage is affixed. The return address is only needed if the letter cannot be delivered, so that the sender can get it back and try to fix the problem.
If your letter / parcel does not have adequate postage and it is caught, one of two things will happen. Either the PO will send the item back to you marked "insufficient postage" or they will send it and mark it "postage due" in which case the recipient will have to pay the difference. I do not know what criteria is involved for the choice of the two. One thing I do know is that it can literally takes weeks to receive a package back with insufficient postage which can be a real inconvenience.
No. The Post Office will accept your overpayment and cancel stamp all the postage stamps, making them no longer usable.
Eventually it will come back to you stamped with a note saying postage missing.
If the address of the recipient is written incorrectly, they moved, or there is an incorrect postage amount on the package.
non vertebrae.... Spell my not be correct but the answer iss
A basic 50gm air mail letter UK to US is £1.98 as of 30 July 2010. I would like to provide my friend in the UK with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to mail a letter back to me. How can I send my friend an envelope with the right postage on it? Thanks.
Most likely not. 1)Postage is expensive, 2) They will think about who are you? Are you a terrorist? 3)Security reasons.
insufficient postage. Incorrect address, or perhaps the recipient no longer lives there, or is dead. If you affix postage and postmark from a private postage meter, and don't send the letter after two or more days, you may have the mail sent back for "delaying the mail." This one I am worried about as I just dumped quite a bit of mail two days after postmarking from my office postage meter. I would really look foolish if it all comes back to the office. But the postman assured me he would take care of it. I hope so.
I have found I can mail letters for a couple of weeks after a postage change without them coming back. Think about the labor involved in returning Millions of pieces of mail. It would cost more than the penny increase.
There is a good chance the post office will deliver it. However, it may come back postage due.
No, you can not resell your stamps back to the post office.
