If it has stained the actual wood you will have difficulty taking the marks out. You can get them out with oxalic but that will bleach the veneer and leave you with white marks. You can try cabinet scraping the veneer but the veneer is likely to be so thin that the marks are completely through it and scraping/sanding won't help. The only solution is to take the old coat off then:
1 LIGHTLY sand by hand;
2 Re-stain, if you can make up or buy the one that matches the old stain;
3 Touch out the marks with pigment;
4 Re-lacquer with nitrocellulose or otherwise finish to your preference.
If the marks are too big to be touched out or if you aren't very experienced at touching out, you will be better off to leave the old marks as they are. Once stained and refinished, the marks will fade a little and look less objectionable. Besides, the marks reflect the life of the piece and add to its history and "lived with" look, which I quite like.
Good luck.

I saw a demo of a way of removing rings at a woodwork show in the UK .
You wipe metho over the surface then set fire to it! It realy does the job but you have to work quickly. I haven't tried it myself yet, wouldn't like to use it on a valuable piece without a bit of practice.

Are the rings black or white?
If they are white then a quick rub with cigarette ash and cooking oil takes em out like magic!Pugwash.
Never criticise Australia Post. One day they might find out where you live.

I have found a product that works wonders on white rings and heat marks on my antique furniture. It's called Restor-A-Finish by Howard Products. Check out their website.

I can vouch for Restore-a-Finish, it is an excellent product for restoring old finishes and repairs like white rings.

Note: If the white rings are on a well polished table, use a rag rather than fine steel wool in the first instance.

If they are water stain (white) play a heat gun over them gently and they will disappear, Libron have a product called ring remover i was told you can get it from Freedom Furniture. Sometimes a hair-dryer will work but not a good or as quickly. If it's through the surface into the chipbard below then i'm sorry but not much you can do.

Used to use the method all the time with french polish,also works on lacquer (sometimes)precat has always been a pain in the a''s,it is more resistant to marking but when it does get marked it's almost impossible to do a good touchup
