No forwarding order on file

When people move they will often fill out a form ( or oder) for the post office telling them where to send future mail. ( forward the mail)

Jenny did not, so the mail got returned to sender.

Thank you.

Does the "file" refer to the official file/register kept by government?

The USPS is an independent agency of the government, and would be the entity that would hold that information. When a person moves and provides their forwarding address, mail will be forwarded for a year. During that time the person is responsible for informing anyone who sends mail of their new address.

You can renew your notice of a forwarding address after the initial year if you need to.

A friend of mine has done just that. I am the address where all his US mail is getting sent, and a couple of months ago he renewed it. Every month or so I send his mail to a location in the US, close to the US/Mexican border. A private courier service then takes his and others mail across the border and delivers it to the city he lives in, about 500 miles South of the US border.

He has to do this as some of his mail has to be delivered to an actual physical address in the US.

Thank you.

Hmm ... fess up - are you involved in something fishy here? Sounds suspect. And here I thought you were a law abiding citizen. Come on let us in on this - we won't tell..

Heh. I know. It sounds rather involved and clandestine, doesn’t it?

Don’t tell, but I have been known to slip a package of Twizzlers, or a box of Ike and Mikes into the package. His 90 year old father likes them.

Mike and Ike?

Yep.
