  I get a lot of things from Publisher's Clearing House that I didn't order, and I
always write Return to Sender on them and drop them back in the mailbox at the post
office branch nearest me.  I never open them, yet sometimes they come back to me via
the postman, who tells me nothing can be returned postage free if it's been opened.
Sometimes the pkgs. are damaged in transit so that they look as if they've been
opened.  I've recently learned that a little hot glue in some strategic places can
make a package look brand new.  
   Anyhow, the answer to your question is:  just write "Return to Sender" on it and
drop it by the post office.  Voila!
