Maybe Hi! I’m an artist and I ship small untracked letters internationally (mostly to the US).
Today I had a letter returned back to me, even though:
I double-checked the address

I’ve successfully shipped to this exact address before

nothing looked incorrect on the envelope

So I’m a bit confused what went wrong this time.
Has anyone experienced this? What are the most common reasons for a letter being returned even when the address seems correct?
Would really appreciate any insight — I’m trying to understand if this is something I can prevent in the future.
Thank you!

I just wanted to say thank you to all the artists and collectors here.

Every time I open this space, I genuinely feel joy. There’s so much beauty, and it’s so different it feels like walking through an endless exhibition.

It’s hard to even describe what I feel. Yes, some people have incredible skill, but instead of jealousy, I feel inspired. I love how many different voices and styles exist here.

It reminds me of how freely we used to draw as kids: light, playful, full of energy.

You’re all doing something amazing. Please keep creating.

And a special thank you to collectors. You inspire artists to keep going. You give a sense of recognition — and for artists, that’s as essential as air. Without you, without the audience, this tango wouldn’t exist.
