The correct placement for the Return address is the upper left corner of the envelope or address label. The address of the designee/recipient should be placed slightly below and to the left of center of the envelope and the postage should be placed in the upper rightcorner of the envelope or item to be mailed. Please note that a return address must always be included. An article that does not have a return address, if undeliverable, will be sent to the Dead Letter Office in Atlanta, GA. Do not secure postage with tape. The item will be returned to sender as undeliverable.
When addressing International Mail, the delivery address should be printed in all uppercase letters. The name of the place of destination and the name of the country of destination must be written in capital letters together with the correct post code number or delivery zone number, if any.
