RE: USPS & UPS: If you don't open the package and simply mark it
"refused/return to sender" it will be returned to the sender at no cost
to you. It's likely to be the same with FedEx and others.

Another fun thing to do (for those with a healthy disrespect for
authority and some penchant for mild civil disobedience): If you get a
Business Reply Mail envelope (one where you don't have to put on the
postage), you can tape that envelope to a very large & heavy object &
send it along. Really. The sender who has included the BRM (business
reply mail) envelope is responsible for the postage, whatever that may
cost. So, hypothetically speaking, you could get a survey from an EBM
company and, rather than return the survey, you can send them a brick.
Or, you can fill out the survey, put it in the envelope and still affix
it to the brick.

When I worked in the communications department for one of Canada's
political parties, we got bricks on a fairly regular basis, and of
course we had to pay for the delivered mail as it was our BRM envelope
affixed to it. I always thought that was rather clever, though I've
never done it myself.
