We love those  postal additions!

Some times mail art gets lost in the mail, and other times the mail company is so kind to add something to our mail art. Dynamic art, I love that!

In this group you can post the postal additions to the mail art that you´ve sent or received. Additions by the mail companies which made you smile, touched you or whatever. Additions which are, in fact, part of the Mail Art!

Katerina, do you think it might be the "TO-->" causing the problem? Perhaps the computerised machine can't read it then the human staff are too lazy/busy and just bung it straight back without even looking at it.

NIXIE...NIXIE...NIXIE...NIXIE !

I am beginning NOT to love these postal additions :-(

US Post is returning mail art that I sent in October,

and they have CORRECT addresses!

(and correct, expensive "exoteriko" ...overseas postage) sigh!

Does the rubber band count as a 'postal addition'? Thanks, Debora, the letter seems to be still there.

And an other extra bar code, this time over the address and not so easily removable.. And in exchange, the Post tore off a little part of the artistamp..

Thank you, Cascadia Artpost for this very interesting mail!

@Heleen - the black barcode looks like it was applied here in the US. I have no idea if any postal services can read the codes from another country. Glad the added one could be easily removed, just like the USPS ones.

Even though the address is correct and there is already an other bar code, PostNL often likes to add an other bar code. Over the stamps, this time...

I was very relieved when I found out that the code was easily removable!

Thank you, FinnBadger, for sending this great mail!

The latest example of Cancel Culture —  there's something particularly brutal about this postal addition
