You have it easy! Occasionally USPS delivers me other people's mail!
- MisterTea 1y agoSame. I also dont get mail for days then suddenly my box is stuffed.
- manithree 1y agoUSPS, FedEx, UPS, and Amazon all do this, but USPS is by far the worst here. There's a new (well, it was several years ago) townhome in the town to the west that has exactly the same street address as mine, just a different city and ZIP code (just one digit different). We got their mail, packages, etc. a LOT for years. The best was when we got home and FedEx had dropped of a set of 4 overnighted tires on our porch. The townhome is a rental, and sometimes, even when Amazon sends me a photo of their front porch, the townhome tenants claim they didn't get anything of ours. Either they're theives or they have a lot of porch pirates.
- lxgr 1y agoSame here, and Informed Delivery is actually a great feature for that (i.e. tracking whether one of my letters probably went to somebody else's mailbox again and whether it's worth asking the neighbors or looking on top of their mailboxes).
- LorenDB 1y agoNot just a USPS problem. Fedex dropped a package off at my neighbor's house the other day. Luckily I have good neighbors, so he brought it right over.
- bxparks 1y agoNot just USPS and FedEx. UPS has dropped the last 3 of my packages to my neighbor's house. They try to be helpful though. They took pictures of the packages, sitting against various walls and doors that I didn't recognize at all. I had to guess which of my neighbors.
- micromacrofoot 1y agoHah yes came here to say this, I often get a neighbors mail in my mailbox... so the scanning issue seems relatively minor.
- oarla 1y agoThis is an epidemic in my community. At least twice a month I walk over to my neighbors and deliver their mail left in my mailbox. They do the same to me. We’ve complained to the local post office, but they’re dealing with staffing issues and can’t guarantee anything. I feel it’s a major invasion of privacy. I don’t want to know stuff about my neighbors like who they bank with, have student loans with or which doctors they go to. They also find out those things about me. But not much we can do about it.
- Symbiote 1y agoAssuming your country follows the path of Denmark (I think the western country with the least post per person) the situation will resolve itself: you'll stop getting letters for anything. I receive about 6 letters a year, though the average was 33 per person last year.
- lotsofpulp 1y agoI do not expect any service to be 100% accurate.
- SoftTalker 1y agoAbout once a month for me. I assume some of my mail ends up with other people as well.
