Title: Big Checkmark next to the address on my packages
Post by: Cgault on October 28, 2011, 08:30 pm
Hey folks:

I just noticed that on more than one package I have received, there is a big freehand Check mark next to the address, usually to the right of the address. I ahve not correlated whether my regular mail from normal sources have this too. I wonder if it is just the delivery receipted ones that get this.  I am going to keep my eyes open.

Anyone else with big ass checkmarks on their mail?

Hmm....I noticed this the other day two. Both packages that I received had big checkmarks on them, but they were packages that had delivery confirmation on them (small boxes). It was my first order on SR, so I can't tell you whether or not its a trend or not. My normal mail doesn't have it, but I honestly haven't really ordered a package in a few weeks, so I never thought about it. I guess I should keep an eye out for that!

I'm waiting on my first shipment, so I can't speak for packages arriving from here, however I have done a lot of buying and selling on Ebay over the years and other online retailers and have noticed this many times before. I'm sure it's something to do with a position at the post office for tracked packages. Someone reads a name, the other guy finds it and checks it...next...and so on.

Just my .02, probably nothing to worry about.

HTH!

I've seen this as well.  Although I thought the check mark was like part of the actual envelope and not in writing if you know what I mean.  I thought it was strange too.
