Undeliverable As Addressed? Huh?

Written By:  Andrew & Becx Eide

We went onto Amazon to order a cover for Nanay's tablet computer we got for her at Verizon Wireless last week.

Yesterday we get a message from Amazon that the United States Postal Service (USPS) is declaring that the package is UNDELIVERABLE AS ADDRESSED. Huh?

We checked the order information for the cover on Amazon and our address is listed correctly.

We then went to the USPS website and entered the tracking number and it for sure says that the Post Office in Duluth, Georgia is declaring the package is UNDELIVERABLE AS ADDRESSED.

On both Amazon and the USPS website our address is listed correctly. Therefore I can make only one assumption. The main address of our apartment complex is 2500 and then there are 26 apartment buildings so they also need to list your apartment number.

This apartment complex has been here for 30 years so not like the Post Officer doesn't know where it is located. My assumption is that Amazon took the order...they forwarded the order to the company or person who is to fulfill the order (rarely is it Amazon who actually fills the orders) and some bonehead put a different street number such as 2200, 2300, 2400, 2600, or something else which means the Mail Carrier doesn't know it is to go to 2500 and our apartment number.

I also assume on that day (January 20th) that there was a substitute Mail Carrier so they don't recognize our name. Our regular Mail Carrier has known us for 2.5 years so he would see the name and know where to deliver it.

Going personally to the Post Office in Duluth, Georgia this morning to find out what their problem is. I will report back, in a separate blog, what happened.
