Mad Scientist Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Great. My package is being returned to me for "insufficient address." The postal clerk at my end had no qualms about taking $10 in postage and using the address, but it must have been insufficient for the destination post office. As I posted on 12/8, I was only provided with a last initial (not a last name). I checked the AA profile, the recipient's ebay profile, and even tried looking up property records for his community, but I could not get a full last name. I'll have to break SS rules and contact the recipient directly for a complete name and address verification so that I can reship whenever it finally gets back here.

I'll have to break SS rules and contact the recipient directly for a complete name and address verification so that I can reship whenever it finally gets back here. Maybe golden.ax could verify the address for you - if you're worried about maintaining your anonymity. - although if he reads this thread it might be a clue..

Mad Scientist Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I expect that it will be back to me on the 19th for reshipping. It may have been a physical address issue, as I just tried looking it up online and neither Google Maps nor Mapquest could get an exact match. I was more focused on the name over the address, but I suspect that raskar42 is correct about the issue. The return is coming from the correct community; a full name may or may not have overcome any physical address ambiguity, depending on the resourcefulness and interest of the postmaster. I assume the official policy is to simply return to sender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 The post office delivers as long as the address is correct. They don't care about the name, unless it is A) something with a forwarding order B) the delivery person is motivated, cares, notices, asks if it yours. Hence all the junk mail, wrong address, and Current Resident stuff most people get. AX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually use the USPS site to create/print shipping labels. It won't let you purchase is the address is bad and postage is nominally cheaper. However i think you can only do priority with it.

the.golden.ax Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Almost every person who has said it wasn't there yet, has had a flip side secret reply PM from their Santa to me tell me it was on the way and even giving me tracking, so to all but one thus far, I'd say don't worry AX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Phruby Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I got my gift today!! Thank you SS! I've had my eye on a couple of auctions for Roc'nRope and Nexar for a while now. That is a total suprise that I got them! Also, this has to be the best Star Master label I've ever seen. Thank you for the candy. My five year old is stoked about the Star Wars legos.

AtariNerd Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Received a knock at my door this afternoon and venturing out into the chill air to behold , oh what it could be?!? but a package sent to me by elf postal registry! I could hardly wait, so as soon as the delivery driver was away on her route with an exchange of waves, I scurried in to see just to see what was the matter. The package itself was very securely and meticulously wrapped, seams folded and taped with exquisite care, foretelling of the thought and care put into the contents therein. And what can I say - I were be spoiled. Inside the box styro-peanut-strewn, sweet pepermints were nestled, some curiously strong. In sleeves of blue , snow-flakes a-glisten was the rattle tell-tale of stories unknown to these ears and eyes.: DVD's: 1. Magilla Gorilla - The Complete Series. - Mint Sealed! 2. Space Academy - The Complete Series. Again, Mint sealed! BooBoo Rays: 1. Drag Me to Hell - the Director's Cut 2. A Double-Feature! Category 7/ 10.5 Apocalypse - -Yet again, Inexplicably Mint sealed! 3. Harry Potter - The Half-Blood Prince Some people have told me that I'm going to Hell because of my tendency not to believe in the supernatural or a creator, so some of these might prove to be informative! I do like a bit of the camp and schlock as well. One or two I may even give to others and spread the good will. Thank you, Secret Santa!

toiletunes Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 My Secret Santa arrived today- Whoever you are, thank you. I had a rough day at work, and the package picked me right back up again. I won't open it for another week, but it smells minty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
