Just cross out the address, write "Addressee unknown. RTS" on the package and put it in a postbox. It'll go to Royal Mail's return letter office in Belfast where it'll get opened and hopefully returned to sender.

xxxxxxx


I'm not sure they bother to do this any more unless the return address is actually on the outside of the packet.

Maybe that's just for letters.

I think junk mail without a return address may possibly be destroyed, but all other mail without a return address is opened.

Do be a tad on the pedantic side... it doesn't go to Belfast but somewhere up north

OOooh 'stalky'

Perhaps its for the Right Honorable Gillian Watson MP for Dundee East, who is claiming that your house is their second home? Open the package If it's a duck island, fake beam or a ?250 Alarm Clock- you might be onto something.



On second thoughts that would be ridiculous. That would never happen... Silly me

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
