9. Only perform a "Return to Sender" if the following applies, else the USPS eats the costs.

If something printed on the envelope states “Return Service Requested” or “Forwarding Service Requested” or “Address Service Requested” then, if you write 'Return to Sender' the original mailer pays for the return mail costs.

If those are NOT written on the envelope, then the USPS either pays for it if it is 1st Class, or the USPS destroys it back at the postal facility, especially if it is bulk mail. So, in these cases, it's best not to return them because it just takes money from the USPS.
