Mail sent without stamp; what happens?
 

Hey guys, i did something really stupid while i was in a rush to do a bunch of chores today. I mailed out an important mail without a STAMP! it has all the neccesary info , return address, but i just forgot to put the stamp on it. What will happen to this mail ? What can i do to move this along, cause this an important mail!

please help :(

(it was mailed @ a mailbox on no.3 and williams):cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:: cry:

sent back to you.

it gets returned to you..... if your lucky

what do you mean lucky :(


and how long do you think it'll take ???!

just call the post office and ask. u'll have a definite answer...

some times they dont return it, cause a lot of "smart" people before put in the address were they want in the return address part, and a fake and non-valet address on the main address part. so when the post office "returns" the mail it actually makes it to the right destination

so they don't do that anymore
for letters it's some bin
for parcel's they hold it and sends a notice to the return address

I sent a letter once when I forgot to put the stamp in...

I had it returned to me in about a week?

My boss sometimes leaves my paycheck in an envelope in his mailbox before he leaves town or we have conflicting schedules. One time the mailman picked it up and sent it through the mail system. It had his address as the return address and that's where it was, yet it was still taken with no postage. What a pain in the ass that was when I needed the cheque. Ended up getting delivered to my house in Coq. (from W. Van) 4 days later - still no stamp.

If I had known I could get free delivery, I would just leave all outgoing mail in my mailbox and let the mailman pick it up. :rolleyes:

i sent a piece of mail a few weeks ago and forgot to stamp it and it was returned to me within a few days

unless they loose it, you should get it back within 5 - 10 business days

i think you will not get it back if its mailed outside of a specific zone, IE if the sender address is in Quebec or something but its found without a stamp in Van.

it'll get sent back to you

i called the post office, and they said it'll get sent back to me.
she said theres a chance that i might not get it back tho :(

i've been doing this for a while ahaha.. mind you, i scarcely send snail mail... but i just tried it for fun one time.
