If you need to refuse a USPS package, you can simply write “Refused” on the package and give it back to the USPS carrier or drop it off at a USPS location. You can also schedule a pickup for the package to be returned to the sender. It’s important to note that if the package was sent with postage due, you may be responsible for paying the return postage.
1. Can I refuse a USPS package at the time of delivery?
Yes, you can refuse a USPS package at the time of delivery by simply telling the mail carrier that you do not want to accept the package. The mail carrier will then return the package to the sender.
