How does the post office actually re-direct people's mail?? Surely there isn't someone sitting by the mail at the depot looking for individual's mail?!!! And if they use a scanner on postcodes - what happens with badly hand-written mail?

Redirected mail is sent to the postpersons round as any other letter is (previous address).

When it gets to the postman he has a card with the Names of the people who have moved, plus labels with the forwarding address....So when all the mail is prepaired they will look for say Mr Mrs Brown, 13 Any Street ans simply forward it from there.

 

The second answer is the machine reader 'Rejects' it and it's simply done by hand.....Further more should that not be a success and it cannot be delivered then it is sent to a special department, where under strict conditions if there is no return address they are opened in the hope of being able to get some clues from the contents.
