Post Office Question...

[AKL_Megs]

I feel SO stupid!

I wasn't feeling well yesterday, and I was rushing to gather and stamp and add return address labels to some letters before the mailman got to my mailbox. I grabbed the stack and handed it directly to the mailman.

One of the letters was DH's student loan payment. It comes with a mailing address sticker, which you stick on your blank envelope.

I found it stuck to my kitchen table this AM, so alas, it was mailed WITHOUT a mailing address.

I am 100% sure that it had both a stamp and our return address on it.

What happens now? Will the post office "return to sender"? I'm really worried about our check floating around somewhere (not that a postal employee will do something with it, just that I don't know where it is).

Thanks!

If it has a return address and a stamp, it "should" come back to you. If there is no stamp - all bets are off. Same with no return address label.

I would, however, get another check to the student loan company so that the payment doesn't come late. And - unless you cancel the check, I would be prepared in the "what if" the check lands at the student loan company that the check gets cashed. (I'm assuming the check is with some sort of payment stub.

Most likely - the envelope has left the post office and is sitting in a sorting facility in the big town nearest to you.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm 100% sure, I remember scanning each envelope for both. And the (second) check is in the mail.
