There's is no credit for such items as we aren't supposed to bring them back. The delivery company is supposed to be notified of the incident and told to cease & desist as you would someone who puts fliers in mailboxes. If your mgmt wants you to bring them in to return to sender, then get with them on how to credit.

-- If manglement's orders in the past have been to return such an item found in a mail box to the post office, might as well try for a "postage due" item.
-- Pretty sure if either delivery company does not "rescue" its parcel, the USPS will charge the customer for the proper postage to deliver it.

603 clearly says bring them back!
Credit, who knows.
But if I have to deliver their stuff in non count times then there is no chance in hell they are staying in the box... ever.

Throw it in a tub with your outgoing mail. If your supers pay as little attention as ours do, they'd probably count it as picked up mail, and never realize what it is.

If it's placed by another delivery service in box or atop it's your White Elephant Christmas gift exchange.

I was thinking parcel pickup on the front end and a potential postage due on the back end.

Amazon now has a hub in our zip code and sends very few packages to us. If I find a package in one of my boxes I always bring it back to the office. I could care less if I'm given a credit. Just the thrill and satisfaction is enough for me.

I pulled up to an address on my route with brown coming in opposite direction. Got out flagged him down and said hey buddy did you put some packages in the mailboxes today, and yesterday? Of course he lies and says no. I said good cuz they are all scattered in the lawn, and bushes at those addresses where I found them. His deer in the headlights look was priceless. Nothing more needed to be said. He tore out of there and back up the hill where I had just launched his shit. Best part is that he now has to explain to his boss why his truck gps showed him retracing stops twice hahaha. We had gone round and round for 6 months about this. How ya like me now buddy?

Do you know what section on the PO 603 - I have been scrolling through and I can't find it, we have a big issue with our NEW UPS driver filling the mailbox, even after bringing back and asking them to redeliver, they put it back in the mailbox the next day.
****I may have found it Page 95
Section 35 - 352.4 Mailable Matter Not Bearing Postage
When you find mailable matter in a box without postage paid addressed to, or intended for, the person in whose box it is deposited, take the matter to the Post Office for treatment in accordance with DMM 146.22. If general distribution of the same bill, circular, or other matter was made on the route, return two samples to your postmaster or supervisor with a statement of the number of similar pieces without postage you observed in boxes on the route. </blockquote>
You got it!

I saw the FedEx peep on my route yesterday... so I asked if they were keeping them busy the past couple of weeks... the answer was a loudly yelled <strong>YES!!!!! <img title="Yell" alt="Yell" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-yell.gif" /></strong>
I told them to hold on... it'd all slack up for them in a few more days... <img title="Confused" alt="Confused" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-confused.gif" />

I brought back 5 today (Wed.). I took pictures of the addresses and numbers and have just called amazon and spoke to a delivery manager to see if it's their policy to let the carriers use the the mailbox under certain conditions or are they supposed to take it to the house each time. She took down the tracking numbers and sent the information to the supervisor of the hub that handles our zip code. She said carriers are never to use the mailboxes and should always take it to the address. She was confident that this would end after the carrier is talked to. I think I'm going to continue to bring back to the office any package I find in the box, even though it goes against my care and concern for my customers. How else do we put an end to it.
