We have boxes for Flat/Packets no address, with address - and the same for letters - thats all I do - put it in the right box.

PPI and meter mail without a return address gets destroyed. Only stamped/horizon mail with no return address gets sent to NRC Belfast.

So that's about 90% that gets destroyed due to the sender not addressing it properly but Royal Mail gets the blame for it never arriving. :shock:

Yeah everything that doesn't have a stamp gets chucked if it has no return address.
