Would I be allowed to put a non-letter mail item in the mailbox if it fit?

IT is my understanding that as long as the item is properly labeled and addressed and has the proper postage it can be mailed as long as it fits and ofcourse not over weight.

I worked at a collection agency for three years. You can write on the envelope..."return to sender....wrong address" The agency will receive it back and correct thier files, or they are supposed to anyway. That way you don't have to go to all the trouble of writing a letter and wasting a stamp.

I recommend getting in a vehicle or riding a bicycle, or walking, to the nearest United States Postal Service Mailbox.  They are typically really big and blue and have rounded tops, made out of metal.

No, but if you haven't picked up your mail and 30 days has passed, it will be sent back to the sender as undeliverable.\n\nPer www.usps.com "General Delivery is a great choice for you if carrier service or a PO Box is not an option. Your mail will be held at your Main Post Office for up to 30 days and can be conveniently picked up at any retail window. This is also a great option if you don’t have a permanent address. To find your Main Post Office, please contact your local Postmaster."

If the letter is going to a mil. base standard postage will do, as far as the package your local post offfice will help you.

It is not legal to open a package that was not intended for you.  If the package fits in your mailbox place it back in there and write ANK (Attempted Not Known), and the carrier will re-deliver to the right address.  If larger the best option would be to call your local Post Office and schedule a pick-up, or go to http://www.usps.com/webtools/carrierpickup.htm  It is not your responsibility to return the package to the rightful owner, the responsibility is that of the Postal Service

That depends on the mail program you are using. With Microsoft Outlook, you can. With Yahoo! Mail, you can't.

depends on the area and what your post office wants

Not suppose to. Go to your main post office and ask one of the clerks for best way. Don't forget, The small price of merchandise return receipt is worth it in the long run. Don't want someone claiming not to have gotten product with no proof of delivery.

Call the company that you ordered it from and try and cancel. If it has been already sent out there's not much you can do except sit on their doorstep and wait for the postie to deliver it, they may not hand it over to you though and anyway are you so sure that the person it's being sent to wont like their surprise present? :)

Yes.  Pop-access your email, or download your emails onto your computer.   Your mail box can be as big as your harddrive.\n\n\nXR

Well first, I'd say that's not a good idea. So don't do it and it's also illegal.  Second, even if you steamed it open, it would probably wrinkle the envelope and be obvious to the person who it's meant for.

Yep, I can believe it!  These people are professional crooks, they do this for a living! If your mailbox is exposed in anyway to the public, via on the street or even in the hallway of your apartment building, you can be got! Perhaps you could look into a P.O. Box for yourself at the post office or if you live in a house invest in a mail slot that allows the postman to drop your mail inside. I know I did! And I haven't regretted it!

Won't just an envelope do?

You can.  I think your e-mail is landing in the junk box.  Check there.  =)\n\nOr sometimes, you just have to wait a long while before it arrives.
