Though a lack of a return address always raises an eyebrow, especially with all thats gone on over the past few years...

I would make sure you include your name (real or not) and your address. We recently got a order that did not include any information at all!  :shocked:
So I have to wonder how to fill the order???  :confused:
Finally after some time passed the customer called us and we were able to get things shipped. LOL  :smile:

Yes i tend to agree a lack of any return address makes the package/letter look more suspicios if anything.

use a drop box and you can put any return address... just make sure its not something that would be noticed like including celebs, famous roads that aren't in your town, ect..

You can usually find a drop box in front of the PO, grocery stores, drug stores, ect...

I guess I should also add this:
Be sure to include something in the envolope indicating the return address on your envolope is incorrect and include the real address, otherwise how are they going to know where to send it to? Im sure something could be thought of....

Excellent advice.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

??? So you're advising to put both the return AND shipping address as the same? Bad advice.

Use a fake return address and enclose your real address with shipping instructions inside.

All vendors will read the mail. Handwritten or typed, just give the right instructions.

Bad why? Many of the payment envelopes that come with my bills are set up in just that way. Unless your concern is that envelopes are rarely that way when hand addressed.

As a side note that is an excellent way to get free postage.

Just reverse the order, return address is where you want it to go, your address as the destination, and lose the stamp.

No, it isn't.

I haven't ever used it, I just saw it in one of those books on how to get free stuff.

I rarely use the mail system at all anyway. I pay all my bills electronically and the only mail I ever handle is incoming.

Most payment envelopes are metered. Meaning that they are already pre-paid. So it doesn't matter, the USPS already has their money. Metered mail and stamped mail are processed differently.

Why is that bad advice? Alot of people use this method with success.

because it looks suspicios.Why would you be mailing something and have the return address go to the same address.The purpose of the return address is incase the letter is undeliverable then they return it to the sender.people dont normally mail stuff to themselves.Im sure it works but thats not really the point.Any of these will work,even if you dont put any return address it still is delivered,but the point is to avoid suspicion.

Every month I pay an electric, oil, telephone, mortgage, credit cards, advertising and several other bills. NONE of which are metered. None.

no, I think the point is to conceal personal information and to make sure the letter arrives. A fake address would be a sure way to lose your money if the letter was undeliverable. Writing the deliver address as the return address simply adds the benefit of not risking the loss of your mail. When writing the dual address, you can always write it really small in the corner so its not so noticeable.

I do not think using the same address for the return address to be enough to warrant some sort of investigation or even opening the letter. I doubt anyone would happen to notice something so insignificant and innocous especially in the face of massive amounts of mail that is always in circulation. If the letter were ever opened, I think a false address on the outside and a real address inside would create more reason to launch some sort of investigation. A dual return/deliever address seems more like a typo rather than criminal - at least in my opinion.

Perhaps someone can dig up postal guidelines on what is deemed "suspicious mailings."

I have received mail with the return address so illegible that I could not begin to guess where the letter came from. but as posted above, if you where sending an order to a vendor, and there was a problem with the address your money would be lost. I have to ask though, what are the regulations on postal officials opening a letter if no address is decipherable on the outside of the envelope?
