once when I was a kid I sent a letter to my grandmother. 2 moths latter I recived it back with the stamp with the stamp with the post office logo saying "cancelled". concluded that I had put the district name instead of the city name and resubmitted it. of course I was upset because the price of stamps had doubled from 20 cents to 40 cents who knows why. a month later we decided to stay at my grandmother's house for christmas. I learned that the letter had never arrived. At the end of that week, the letter arrived, I found the situation very strange and I kept the letter. thanks to the inefficiency of the Portuguese post office, I sent a letter to myself across the country.

In England, someone addressed a letter with three lines, the first was 'Wood' the next line 'John' and the third was 'Hants.' (short for the county of 'Hampshire'). The Royal Mail staff cracked it as addressed to a man in a town in Hampshire called 'Andover' and it was to 'John Underwood, Andover, Hants.'

There is a step you missed (that I only know because my mom used to work in a post office sorting facility): rejected mail gets a once-over by a worker at the sorting facility it was going through, and if they can read it or figure out where it's supposed to go they print a sticker with the info the machine will need to keep it moving, stick it on the front, and hand sort it to be sent off. This also happens with stuff that gets rejected for reasons other than bad handwriting, like overweight, damaged, insufficient postage, etc.

If you don't have the country name listed then in most cases it can't be sent. There are exceptions such Canada where the postal code is enough with the province. There is a team that will attempt to figure out the country but if they can't then it will be returned to sender. If you didn't have a return address on the postcards then it would have been marked as dead mail

For example, he would draw a map on the letter, or give a lengthy description of the location - they all arrived at their correct destinations eventually. The only time it failed, was when he recipient was "a random citizen in New York" - this was returned as it was not specific enough.

@@johnladuke6475 I'd say that's small town living. In a small town, it's easier for postal employees to remember each individual customer. So, even after the Forward has expired, if they know that person by name, they'll be nice and rewrite the correct address. Chances are that's not gonna happen very often at bigger post offices (Too many customers to remember). It also depends on each individual carrier. Some carriers are willing to go that extra mile, while others, if they see that the Forward has expired, even if they *can* figure out the new address, they'll just Return to Sender anyway.

Could they not just return it back to the sender's address? even if it's not legible surely there's a record of it

Why would there be a record of the sending address? The mail carrier isn't putting serial numbers on individual letters to track where they came from when they pick them up from your mailbox. If your route even has pickup. If I drop an illegible envelope in the mailbox down the block, how does anyone know it came from my house?

If the return address can't be read, and if it's just a normal letter without tracking, then no.

That's enough paper that you need to take into consideration the air between them. Compressed paper with no space between each sheet is much more dense than, say, slightly rumpled papers of different types stacked in random order.

I mailed a comic book (a "Bob's Burger" comic under $25) in 2019, to a guy in Texas and forgot to put his apartment number on it. I realized this later that day, call USPS to change it and told them the tracking number. They said they would have try to be delivered, before they could change the address. So I tracked it, and called them once it was out for delivery. They said they would flag it and redeliver it the next day. I guess the local post office didn't get the message because as I kept tracking it, and saw it was now headed to Atlanta. Once it got to Atlanta, it said it was at the "Dead Mail Center". I did call the Dead Mail Center and explained what happen, they said if they found it, they would updated it and remail it. But they never did.

I worked at the Remote Encoding Center for 8 months, and yes, the training process is as infuriating as it sounds. It's also worth mentioning there is not a single physical piece of mail inside the building, only about 300+ computers with programs that display images of the scanned mail that come in from various mail distribution centers across the US. Everyday you were assigned an area that dealt with either letters, magazines, packages, or other miscellaneous categories of mail. There was also an entire different section for verifying names of recipients and return addresses. Christmas time is less about letters to Santa (which we coded to a zip code in Alaska and arrived as early as September) and more so because of the likes of Amazon, black Friday, holiday shipping, etc.

I was able to eventually get an international package when I forgot the first digit of my postcode. Obviously that wasn't because of this system, it was a printed label. But some other contiguency plan when into play after the OCR couldn't match the label with anything in the database that eventually got it to the town post office where the workers went "oh yeah that's an address in our three postcode town, and the only address of its kind."

1. shows flat sorter with a letter. different machine. 2. If mail can't be read by the remote center, it will be looked at by a human working "manual mail" at the local facility. they then send to dead letter. 3. it is not all just bad hand writing, sometimes mail is damaged by machines or get wet and smears writing.
