Friend of mine has a problem with the delivery people.

He lives at 123 abc Circle. That is off ABC Road and there is a house
number 123. Seems the delivery people get on the Road and do not
understant the Circle is near the end of that road.

With tracking being fairly good if he orders something, he tracks it and
if it is marked delivered and he does not see it, he goes to the 123 abc
Road house to get his package.


I have the inverse problem. I live at 3 X Rd, and keep
having deliveries for 3 X Close. The worst case was a
"delivery" of roof height scaffolding; that company
wasn't amused by their incompetence.


My dad lived at 123 White Farm Road and there was a Church at 123 White
Road. He would get a letter of theirs about once a month. The roads
were about 10 miles apart. If they ever got a letter of his, they did
not report it.

Once my natural gas bill got messed up. Didn't get one for about 2
months and one finally came. Weent to the gas company and somehow after
living there for 5 years they han me "moved" to the town next to the one
I lived in. Actually I lived about halfway between the two towns out in
the country. It stayed messsed up for about 3 or 4 billing cycles.Eahc
time I would go to them and they would change something, but somehow
they seemed to not makc the correct change.
