Fanmail.biz

I am late for posting this and i apologize. On 1/4/12 I sent Ellen her book, a SASE and a letter to her studio address in hopes of obtaining her signature on the book for my daughter as a graduation gift. She enjoys watching her show and is also obtaining her Masters this year as well. On 1/26/12 I received the envelope back, the top tore off, stamped unsolicited mail and refused on the envelope. As they tore the top off, the letter and the SASE was torn as well. I just figured if it was unsolicited mail and they wanted to refuse it, then why rip if open to see whats inside? Pity. Oh well....

aww I wish you would've asked first before sending her..she isn't good with fanmail. Sorry.

Its ok, it goes with the territory of the hobby. And besides, money always works as a graduation gift too.

Sorry. She isn't good with fanmail. Weird how they opened your envelope.

It seems to me that they can't have it both ways, opening it and then returning it, if you're gonna get technical, bills are unsolicited too, "I didn't ask for this bill, send it back!", but I guess the bright side of that is that you actually got your book back instead of it getting thrown in the trash.

They don't know that it's unsolicited until they open it to look.. I don't understand why that's so hard for people to comprehend.

Just because she didn't specifically ask for mail from the OP doesn't mean that what the OP was sending was unsolicited.

some jerk at the post office could have opened it with intentions of stealing it. Also if you had put ATTN: Fan Mail on it. They might have not returned it. The reason why they have to return unsolicited mail is because if you sent her a script and she made a movie with it without consulting you or crediting you and paying you for the idea, then you could sue her pants off.

The address is:


The Ellen DeGeneres Show
PO Box 7788
Burbank, CA 91522
ATTN: Fan Mail

That's how its written on her website

It doesn't matter how you write it...she doesn't do fanmail!

As far as myself is concerned, it really wasn't the reason it was opened then returned unsolicited, it was the manner. Like i stated in the original post, whoever opened it the way they did tore the letter and also the SASE i had sent along so the stamps that were on the other envelope were also torn and useless. Just didn't know why they couldn't open it from the back. Wasn't that big a deal, just lesson learned i guess.
