Yesterday we received a piece of mail at our home in Maplewood, sent from:

Factory Motor Parts Company
2855 Eagandale Blvd.
Eagan, MN 55121-1202

What's so odd about that? Well, the envelope was addressed to:

Gardena Battery
132 E. Alondra Blvd.
Gardena, CA 90248

Not our name, house number, street, town, state, or zipcode. WTF?

I have to this day not been able to manage that my letters to Austria are not sent via Sydney. Some take 3 months to be delivered. LOL

It must have been stuck pretty good to a piece of your mail. The question I'd have is what was the adhesive? ewwww

Ewwww indeed!

On the flipside, though, I recently received a postcard sent (to me this time) from London, even though it was addressed like this:

Amanda Cat
My Street Address
Mapletown, NJ
no zip

I was pretty impressed!

I used to work in Hackensack. The wrong street/town/state thing happened there about twice a week. At first I would just circle the address and write "delivered to wrong address" on it, but after awhile it got real frustrating. That's when I started adding notes, things like "USPS should engage in random drug testing of it's employees." Of course this didn't do anything to stop the problem, but it made me feel better.
