You can see part of my personal made RTS (Return To Sender) covers,
all different postal authorities with different postal processing and
postmarks on the RTS covers, most important for very clear return
address, of course, some of the covers will missing and will not return
forever.

Hi!
In Thailand, we use Buddhist Eras and this year is 2555.
So we will have 5-5-55 postmarks on the 5th of May.

I know this thread is a year old already... BUT.....

has anyone tried sending something to a fake address overseas, and putting an address besides your own as the return address? For example, say that I wanted to send something to my mother with a Paris, France postmark or RTS stamp/sticker, so I put her address as the RTS instead of my own. Would that work? Or would they know to only return it to the zipcode matching the original postmark?

Lacey_ : Oh, my father did it. He sent some letters to his girlfriend (mom) to oversea fake addresses. Letters got my mom with a lot of stickers and postmarks. :)

Thank you for this memory. I will follow him. :)
