In Bristow the address is like 12345 South 123 West Ave. To often things just get addressed as 12345 SouthWest Ave and then can't be delivered.
This happens more often than you would think and I would never let the people who screwed up in the first place do my roof. They would be paying for the roofer of my choice to do it.This discussion reminds me of a funny incident that happened forty years ago.
Two brothers I used to work with at the FD were roofers on their days off. These were country boys who liked their beer with hard work.
They went to an address to replace a roof one day on “Terrace” instead of “Street.”
The owner came home from working a Night Shift and the crew had half of his roof ripped off and on the ground.
After a few words and I’m sure some discount was added, the home owner agreed to let them finish the job.
Anyone familiar with Grand in OKC. Are we talking SW 36th St Grand, N Grand near NW 63rd, or N Grand Blvd. Sometimes you gotta wonder what city planners were thinking. Then you get up near Edmond where NW 164th St is actually 15th St in Edmond and the list goes on. Fortunately, with zip +4 and barcodes about 80 percent of letter mail is sorted in automation and takes the human error element out of it. Packages.....not so much
Yep. I used to carry mail down the 6100 and 6200 blocks, cross what is now Hefner Parkway and back up the odd side. I volunteer with the Red Cross Disaster Action Team and there was a big fire the other morning at 6500 N Grand. Both guys coming to help me went to the wrong Grand.Yep. Grand Blvd used to be a complete circle around okc… it’s all broken up now.
After 8 years I am still getting mail for the three people that used to live here, two of whom ARE DEAD!I live on ##ST, but there is a ##Terr right next to us (identical number) and it's like every third delivery goes to the corresponding address on the wrong street? You would think that after I keep opening mis delivery tickets they would put some kind of alert in the delivery system (all of them, Amazon, UPS and FedEx). It also doesn't help that the lady who lives at that house will not answer her door and doesn't like to bring packages to us, despite the fact that when we get her stuff we do deliver it. Just a rant.
