After how many days may an item be considered unclaimed?

10 days
15 days
20 days
30 days

The correct answer is: 15 days

An item is considered unclaimed after 15 days from the final delivery attempt. This guideline is in place to allow customers some time to receive or retrieve their mail before it is marked as unclaimed. If a delivery is unsuccessful for this period, the item can be returned to the sender or dealt with according to postal regulations. This process ensures that items do not remain indefinitely unaccounted for, and also helps organize and improve the efficiency of postal service operations. The other options (10 days, 20 days, and 30 days) do not align with the specific 15-day timeframe established for unclaimed items, making them less suitable answers.
