In 2009 alone, the United States Postal Service processed an average of 405,000 mail pieces each minute and handled 40 percent of the world's cards and letters. Workers check each piece of mail either by hand or by machine to determine whether the sender attached the correct postage. With postal rates frequently changing and so many stamps having similar looks, it's easy to put the wrong postage on a letter. What happens to mail when there's not enough postage?

If you accidentally mail something in the US with incorrect postage, the postal service will usually deliver it to the recipient and charge them the remaining postage due. However, there is also a chance that the mail may be returned to you as the sender if the recipient refuses to pay the additional postage. It's best to ensure you have the correct postage before mailing to avoid any issues.

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.
