The business had a address like 5000 S. Broadway. My address was the equivalent of 5000 NE 150th. The number part of the address was the same but my street is a east-west street and the correct business address is a north-south street.

The business is a place I know so I called them. They sent one of their employees over to pick it it up. I have no affiliation at all with that company. I have been in that store as a customer but I visit many businesses.

I can only guess the driver forgot to drop it off when he was on the proper part of the route so he just whipped up a new label and left it at my house.

UPS drivers can not whip up a label - they do not have the equipment - to my knowledge neither can FedEx drivers. Double lables happen...... When I reuse a box I either remove the old label or make sure I deface it 100% so there is no chance it is mistaken for the correct label.
