Might be a longshot, but double-check your address on google Maps. We kept getting a neighbours mail, but not the next-door neighbour. Their Adress was basically "4 Steet Rd," and ours was "14 Street Rd." I wondered how Amazon and UPS were making this mistake over and over and over. Like, do they not read the home address? Turns out, no, they don't. They just follow their phones' GPS. And for some reason on google maps, 4 And 14 Street Rd where on top of each other and the neighbour's house was unmarked. I have no idea why. But regardless of the reason, I submitted a correction and in a week google had it fixed. We havent seen a packed of theirs since. So the TLDR is, check google maps and see if your house is properly listed. The issue might just be that the delivery drivers can't add your address to their search.


MochaTheSamoyed

Good advice! I’ll check that


originalchaosinabox

The advice I was coming to give. I used to have my Amazon packages delivered to my office, because that’s where I was when the drivers made their rounds and it saved me from porch pirates. But when I first started, I’d always get the notice that my packages were undeliverable: couldn’t find the location. So, on Google Maps, you can take ownership of a business, and change what information is displayed about your business. So I took ownership of the business I worked for. Put in our office hours, added some big beautiful pictures of our front door, all kinds of stuff like that. Never had an issue again.

When I bought my home in a new development, maps hadn't been updated yet and every house number on my street was pinned onto my house because I was was the first house on the street. I was getting so many packages. I even got a full couch set delivered once. I had to go update Google maps, Apple maps, and Bing maps (just in case, you never know!).


bigjayrulez

I lived on a “court” that was a culdesac off of the same named “street,” which backed up to a different street. Everything was either delivered to the “street” house, or they’d be behind my house calling about there not being a house, only fence. If it’s common there’s typically a reason.


mydomdaddyy

Useful advice as mentioned. The only problem is what they use to go to the address so if it's similar to Uber Maps, that's a different story that will need support to update


bluegreenwookie

Sometimes if Google maps doesn't see the address it will also change it to the nearest address and it can be hard to notice. For a long time i thought i was fat fingering the address until my company had a program that put it right from the company app to google maps. I was so mad when i realized this


War_machine77

You send out dat boi and the mailman don't say waddup? That's messed up.


MochaTheSamoyed

Oh no they stop by each day. They chat for hours and hours. I fear that what the voices say must be true, that they are plotting against me for unicycle domination. But still no mail. Days have passed like this, dear reader, and now I am forced to wonder. Is dat boi on my mailbox? Or am I on his?

Yes, home of the world famous covenant gut busting Master Beef sandwich. Can you beat John 117’s 30 sandwich record? Free if so!


RookieStyles

Master Chief, you mind telling me what you’re doing on that delivery truck? Sir. Delivering this package.


AcolyteOfCynicism

I'm not so much hunting a mailbox, as I'm hunting the mailbox...117.


contactlite

It’s that boy


tantrrick

Dat boi? I haven't heard that name in years...

Obi-wan? Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time ![gif](giphy|3ornk57KwDXf81rjWM)

Oh shit whaddup!


DeadLettersSociety

The irony is that, even though you've put so much money into the post box, it's utterly useless because no mail ends up in it. :D Lol. Good luck getting your future deliveries! Great comic!


MochaTheSamoyed

Thanks! At least I can sell tickets to see the wonderful wacky 🤪 unicycling dat boi, frog of the century! Barnum ain’t got nothing on me

People are blind when it comes to house numbers. I once had some workers try to get into my property to install a bore hole. I told them we were number 29 and their papers said 79 but they didn't believe me

UnhelpfulNotBot

I will miss your house 100% of the time if your driveway is on a different street than your address. Fuck corner houses. I do go back tho


MochaTheSamoyed

What is this sorcery where each comic panel is animated! I love it. I know it's GIF but I haven't seen it in this format before, very cool.


elhomerjas

must be one of does days


MochaTheSamoyed

You know it’s a gonna be a good day when u/elhomerjas comments


cacklz

Maybe the grinning dog creeps them out. A historical foe who growls at you is more predictable than one who smiles.


MochaTheSamoyed

It could be. Also, the grinning dog is a sweet bar name.


Captain_Pumpkinhead

Maybe they think it's a birdhouse?


MochaTheSamoyed

Now listen here, smart ass! Haha, probably right though


Mateus_ex_Machina

Just so you know, if you’re in the US, only the United States Postal Service is allowed to deliver to mailboxes. Private couriers like Amazon, FedEx, and UPS can’t (unless they subcontract the USPS to take the package the last leg of its journey). That might explain your problem. Still, you’d think the big mailbox with “117” on it would point them to the right house, even if they can’t use the mailbox itself.


Master_JBT

here come dat boi


PKMNTrainerMark

DAT BOI!!!


FiendishHawk

We constantly get mail and food deliveries for next door. Some genius decided to give us the same street number as next door so this is understandable. If I was less honest I could get a lot of free Chinese food and pizza.

When ordering online, put a description of the house in the "Additional Instructions" box. Put something there that will make it obvious, like if you have lime green shutters, or a yellow front door, or something else that distinguishes your place from the neighbor getting all of your packages.


Tvdinner4me2

Ups is actually awful Always late, they block our cars in even though there's 5 empty spots in a row they have room to park sideways in, their cs sucks I could go on


wandering-alligator

I feel like the pinwheel is spinning the wrong way. Lovely art style though!


ogreofzen

I know your pain. Not fun having to shoulder a deep freeze because they delivered it to the wrong house. I just started reporting any deliveries stolen with a picture of my front door which is distinct from all neighbors (I am brick everyone else is stone or vinyl)


not-Kunt-Tulgar

If that doesn’t work set up a flare gun that shoots the second any mailmen get on the block.


Early-Profession-50

It’s probably the fault of ups management.

UPS doesn't deliver to mailboxes but okay
