Shipping/post office question

[TheCrackedJack]

So I had ordered a DVD and I got an email saying that it had just shipped. However, they apparently forgot to put my apartment number on the shipping label. Everything else about my address was correct though, so should I expect any trouble in getting my package?

Depends on how competent your local post office is.

how big is the apartment building? 10 people? 100 peoples? 1000? 100,000 ?

When that happens to me the mailman will just look at the name

leave a note for the mailman on where you get mail.

If it's not a HUGE complex, and if you have a regular mailman, he'll probably know your box by your last name and take care of it for you. I think it would be unlikely that it gets sent back. Besides, most of those group mailboxes... have your last name somewhere in the back where the mailman loads mail from, so he has additional confirmation that it is, in fact, your mailbox.

When I lived in a trailer park community and they would forget to put my lot number down I would still get my package jsut took a few days extra to hunt me down because we never had the same postman everyday. If you have the same one then there shouldnt be a problem. Maybe do the letter thing or go to the post office and tell them for the days it is supposed to show to hold all of your mail there and you will pick it up at the PO for your going on vacation for a few days and wont be home to get the mail. Dont show up for 5 days then go get all your mail provided your not expecting something else in the mail and if the sender is scamming you, you will know it right away for it would be there at the po for you to fet it.

Blah blah blah whateverz

We get stuff sent to a totally wrong address sometimes. The post office is usually smart enough to figure things out.

You might have an issue. I would guess they'll leave the package with the manager and have them forward it to the correct apartment. Just be happy it's not Fedex or UPS..they'll just keep the package for a while and eventually send it back to the shipper.
