What is what happens when a package is returned to sender?

When a package is returned to the sender, it means that the recipient was unable to receive the package for various reasons. Some common reasons for a package being returned to the sender include:

1. Incorrect address: If the address provided by the sender was incorrect or incomplete, the package may be returned to the sender.

2. Delivery failure: If the recipient was not available to receive the package or if there was an issue with delivery, the package may be returned to the sender.

3. Refused delivery: If the recipient refuses to accept the package for any reason, it may be returned to the sender.

4. Undeliverable address: If the address provided by the sender is undeliverable (e.g. a PO Box or a non-existent address), the package may be returned.

When a package is returned to the sender, the sender may be notified by the shipping carrier or postal service. The sender can then decide what to do with the package, such as resending it to the correct address, refunding the recipient or disposing of the package. It is important for the sender to verify the recipient's address and contact information before reshipping the package to avoid further issues.
