Altering the address on the Netflix return mailer is a big no-no

According to the United States Postal Service Domestic Mail Manual, Chapter 507 on Mailer Services, under Topic 8.0 on Business Reply Mail (BRM), sub-topic 8.4.4 says:

"The delivery address on a piece of BRM may not be altered to redirect the mailpiece to any address other than the one preprinted on the piece."



Netflix's self-mailing return envelopes are clearly labeled as "business reply mail."

  1. As you stated, "Netflix's self-mailing return envelopes are clearly labeled as 'business reply mail.'"

    As long as it goes back to the business, it is O.K.

    Even Netflix will put labels on it so that it goes to the right place!
    I much rather mail it 35 miles away versus 253 miles! (It cuts 2 - 3 business days.)

    Now if you mail back it to your friend and NOT Netflix - THAT IS ILLEGAL!
