Where do you write the mailing address on a letter envelope?

6 comments so far


Ok, I always been writing the mailing address on the bottom right side of the envelope and the return address on the top left. My mail gets to its destination fine, but I notice that most of my bills have the mailing address in the bottom right side. Which is correct or does it not matter.

    Well, where exactly are you from?
    Because here the return address is the top left and the mailing address is in the dead center.

    Seriously you don’t know? You learn this in like 2nd grade the return address goes in top left the stamp top right and the destination goes in the very middle see sample below

    ————————————————————————————
    John Doe * STAMP
    123 That St.
    Apt 123
    Anytown, NM 12345

    ** Bob Smith **
    321 Another St
    New City, CA 98745

    ————————————————————————————
    Hope that helps it is proper etiquette although the post office figures it out if return is at top and reciever is somewhere under that
