[Normy]

I had USPS deliver three packages to my door yesterday; one addressed to me, and two addressed to someone else.

ALL had my home address!

The driver dropped them at the front door, rang the bell, and then walked away. I opened the door, looked at the packages [Hmm? What did I order now....], and promptly ran out and caught the guy before he could drive away. If I hadn't....then I'd have them in my possession and the real addressee would be without. It wasn't my regular postal carrier, so if eventually this guy made a stink about where his packages ended up, then I doubt by that time that the carrier would remember where they actually went.

What's the solution? I guess that USPS could make a database that links homes with addresses, so as to find situations like mine where the wrong name was paired with the wrong addy and kick the package back to the person who mailed it, and/or have the carrier demand ID. Both are going to cost money.

Good luck-
