My packages are always shipped to the wrong house, What can I do?


Question Posted Monday December 24 2012, 8:23 pm

My house is located on the corner of two streets. Lets call them A st. and B st. So image a capital T and A street is the short horizontal line and B street is the long vertical line. It's right at the corner. My house address for example is 4323 B Street. but my mailbox is located on A street. So, from a more logical standpoint, the address should have been listed as 4323 A Street, why in the world my mailbox is on the wrong street, I don't know. But how do I fix this problem? My packages go to the house across the street from me, and it's troublesome to run over and pick it up. There have been some packages that weren't delivered even though it was marked as delivered, and there's no saying that the house across from me stole my package or not. Would it be inappropriate for me to begin labeling my address as 4323 A Street without paperwork? The local mailman knows where my mailbox is, the only issue is when Fedex and UPS delivery come in. What do I do?

The problem you speak of goes all the way back to when your house was built and the plot plans were filed with the city or county. They in conjunction with the Post Office are the ones that assign the street addresses.

While you could speak with FedEx and UPS about this problem directly this would be only a short term solution. Each route pays differently based on the number of packages each route delivers on average. This means that drivers are always bidding for better routes to gain better pay and better hours. Nothing says that your current driver will inform the next driver of your unique situation.

I suggest you speak with the city or county planning office and the postmaster for a more permanent solution to your problem.

Most Fedex and ups delivery routes have the same driver, delivery man/woman. I would suggest next time you expect a package, to speak with the delivery man as soon as it's arrived, I mean, the day it's suppose to arrive, sit and wait and watch. Explain to him/her how he/she has been delivering your package to the wrong house, and how because of this, you have lost several packages because of it. If this does not solve your problem, then perhaps get a p.o. box at your local post office, and have the packages delivered there. Or even speak with the post office workers. Perhaps they may have a solution to this dilemma. Even call the fedex / ups head quarters, or main office or whatever they call it.
