MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Friend of mine just asked me this. Via messenger, apologies for formatting.
I live in a building that just has a tiny hole in the front door for the mailman to shove things through.So all five flats mail comes through this one hole, and then we each have a cubby that we pick up the mail and sort it into.
There was a good stack of mail just sitting for weeks and weeks on top of this cubbybox, so I bundled it all up and wrote the surnames on the front (first week of August) that any of it that wasn't claimed by Sept 1 was going to be returned to sender.
Am I within my rights to just write "Not at this address" on these and ship them back?
Nearly all of it was addressed to flat 4, and that's a studio flat.
it's all kinds of different names, including a business name.
I think it should go somewhere though, because we can't just leave it on top of this cubby thing forever.
This one's from a debt collection agency
DVLA for someone who doesn't live here
My thought is, "not your problem." What do other readers think?
Knock on the door of flat 4 and hand it to them?
You are allowed to speak to your neighbours you know.
as druidh says - thread closed.
I suggested that.
"she goes through the stacks on top of the box so she'd have picked it up"
Seems she's deliberately ignoring it.

In which case it's up to her to send it back as "not at this address". Hand it to her and leave it to her.
It will also put a marker on the address as a bad payer and debtor, even though its a flat within the building.
Royal Mail deliver to addresses not people. If its been delivered to the address and the person it is intended for not living there for any reason, then by all means right not here on the envelope and put in nearest post box. It will be sent back to sender. Who will then know it has not been received
