Title: undeliverable as addressed
Post by: ikarma on March 09, 2012, 09:59 am
Tracking shows "undeliverable as addressed" and its a known good address.  Now its being returned to sender....god knows who.   Package was perfect  label was perfect.  Why would this happen?

Sorry to hear about this unfortunate occurrence.

Did you use the 100% correct name for the correct address? If not, what alteration did you use since the address was good, and what does "good" mean? Use of the wrong name or any other similar attempt to disguise the actual recipient at the address would be my first guest as to the error with the package.

If nothing else, my guess would be that an error in typing the address or vendor copying must have happened.

I sent it.   Copy and pasted address.  Verified label with recipient.  Pack was perfect.    Now its on its way somewhere.

Id say the most plausible thing would be that the recipient gave you a bad address like with a fake name or something then. Possibly they gave the name of the former resident who moved and had their mail forwarded but now they just wont deliver because thats expired? I cant figure out what else besides an attempt to mess with the actual address could have happened since the person who gave you the address verified it was correct. Generally that message occurs when someone leaves off the apt number or gives the wrong street number etc.

If it werent contraband occasionally you can actually go to the post office and pick it up before they send it back out.

Update:  the package made its way to the previous sort facility and they sent it back on its way and it was delivered.   ;D

Must have been an ocr error.  I read it happens as much as 30% of shipments.
