Undelivered letters and returned mail

+ +

Every letter we send includes our printer’s address on the back of the envelope. It’s not possible to customise the return address.

+

Returned mail is securely destroyed by our printer.

+

Each letter has a unique ID. Our printer sends us the ID of every letter they destroy. We contact you if the IDs match any of your letters. This is a partly manual process, so it can take a few weeks.
