Mail carriers are among the most respected United States government employees, but given the challenges of the job, they’re bound to deliver a letter or package to the wrong address on occasion. Plus, some USPS customers can make the job even more difficult. Some folks have illegible handwriting, making addresses hard to read, and not every house is clearly numbered.

We all want to be good citizens and members of our communities, so it’s important to know what to do with an errant piece of mail. Otherwise, it could sit on the kitchen table for weeks before someone accidentally throws it away.
