They may send such items to a local charity or non profit organization, magazines sometimes go to a local school etc. The other option is the Atlanta recovery unit AKA "The Dead Letter" office :)
Unfortunately if they do collect such items seperately I doubt it would be in it's original package so identifying it may be hard.
"the usps is not required to return media mail. media mail is usually sent to the 'dead letter' or 'undeliverable" bin. have her check with her local PO, they might still have it."
Very good point, I have not looked in the help files but I would say that if the requester had an incorrect address they should be responsible for the postage or applicable credits for said postage and books.
All I could find was:
It is the requestor's responsibility to provide a correct, dependable address to senders.
- If you make an error and provide the wrong address, you should correct this as soon as possible, using one of the methods above.
- If the book you requested is returned to the sender because of an incorrect address, the sender is not obligated to re-send the book to you.
- If a requestor uses a nonworking address to request too many books, or makes this mistake too many times, this can jeopardize PBS membership.
