With the boom of ordering items online, many consumers have began to order packages and have them sent to their jobs. There are benefits of ordering online, and having the packages sent to your job. Security is one of the factors, if you order something online, and you have it sent to your job, and your business is closed then the item will not be left, with the exception being that it’s small enough to fit in the door slot if the business has a door slot, in the event that it doesn’t, the item will be redelivered on the next business day. Another factor is the item will not be left outside unlike residential deliveries because of security issues that delivering to a business presents, such as foot traffic, and the item being left out in the open presents an issue for easy theft, because let’s face the facts, everyone isn’t honest.

One issue that having a package sent to your place of business can present is in the event that you relocate, or change jobs, it’s your responsibility to change your information online with vendors, sometimes online shoppers forget to change their information, and your purchase has been delivered to your job that you formally worked at in over 2 years, because sometimes some individuals don’t order every week, and once you confirm your shipping address the item is going to be delivered to the address that you have saved in the system, or database for Ebay, Amazon, and etc. That’s why it’s important to verify your information before you click on the submit button.

At iwantmymail.com you have the ability to change your information no matter how often you move, if you’re in the military, overseas, your options are unlimited. Here’s to a great week! Questions, or comments, feel free to make them! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDmukbhlESc

Living in a residential neighborhood, it’s always important to identify your house. You might be asking yourself why should I identify my house? There are several factors as to why you should identify your home, one being it helps emergency responders when you might have an emergency at your home be able to identify which house is your house, if you have numbers on your mailbox, and more importantly numbers on you house, and curb uniquely identify which home belongs to you, and those precious seconds, and minutes can play a vital factor in saving someone’s life in the event of a life threatening emergency. Having your address on the curb outside of your home helps your Postal employee to be able to deliver your mail more efficiently in the event that your house doesn’t have numbers to identify the house. Numbers play a vital role for UPS, Amazon, FedEx, DHL, and other providers because delivery merchants have a better chance of getting the delivery right if there’s a number on the curb, or numbers on the mailbox, or house, this really increases your opportunity for a safe delivery. If you identify your house, it’s also important to put your name inside of your mailbox, because everyone moves, and if you have your last name visible, and you identify all of the other residents then you have a better chance of getting a delivery with all of the mail that belongs to your address. If you have a relative that is going to be receiving mail for a time period, it’s important that you notify your Mailman, because if you don’t you take a chance of the mail being returned to sender, because they’re following your note in the mailbox to deliver mail only to these residents. Communication is the key! Identify your house, you’ll be glad that you did!

Numbers, and names are two of the most important things that can have an effect on if you receive your mail, or if it will be returned to the sender. What do I mean by numbers? Numbers are in your address the difference between 10355 Charleston Dr., versus 10395 Charleston Dr., can mean that one number can cause your mail to be returned to the sender, normally if your Mailman knows your name, then there’s a chance that they can catch the error, and you will receive your mail, or package, but you might not have the same luck with your FedEx, UPS, DHL, Amazon, or other logistical providers because they normally go by the address to deliver a package, and not a name, the only exception being that if you order something on a regular basis, and the same driver from these logistical companies becomes familiar with your name, and they can catch the mistake before the item is delivered, or is returned to the sender because there is no 10395 Charleston Dr., so human error plays a factor in this process, sometimes a simple keying error on the keyboard can cause this, or hitting the wrong button on your smart phone as well.

Sometimes some individuals will order an item, and forget to update their online account with the information needed to let logistical companies know that you have moved, and they order an item as John, and they live out their last name, which is Jones, and a letter is left out of the address, and you have moved, chances are that your item will be returned because there is insufficient information, or data, and this will have a effect on you receiving your item that you have been waiting on so desperately to receive, it can be anything from a passport, a college transcript, and etc., the point is that you want the item, and your logistical provider wants you to have the item as well.

Often when businesses move into shopping centers they often go by suite numbers, so often they go by suite A, B, C, D, E, or etc. So often when a business orders something for their business they will sometimes just put down the address instead of their suite number, and wonder why their item has been returned to the sender. Putting down one incorrect number can also also cause problems because UPS, FedEx, DHL, and other logistics companies go by the exact number, and if your business isn’t labeled then the item will more than likely be returned to the sender.

It’s also important to note that when businesses ship items to vendors they will often send items, and not put down their suite number as being part of their address, and then they wonder why they have trouble getting their merchandise back if there is a conflict with the vendor in the case of an item being returned to the sender. Other problems that can arise are the business doesn’t put an address at all on the item, and the address that they send the item to is an address that doesn’t exist, or it could be a house that is vacant, if this happens, and there is no return address then the item is considered to be dead mail, and the item is sent to the dead mail section of the Postal Service in Atlanta, Georgia if the item was mailed through the Postal Service. So it’s imperative for a business to always list their correct suite numbers on their items that they’re mailing, and in the case of a business moving to also put down their correct address, because if one number is off, or a suite number is left off, there can be problems with your mail.

We often move to a new location to start a new life, it could be a new job opportunity, marriage, joining the military, etc. Often when a house is torn down, the new owner, or builder will change the address of the previous address for example 5903 Mason Dr., to 5901 Mason Dr., and this might seem to be fine, but it can cause problems in both residential, and business settings, because if the former occupant puts in a change of address, there could potentially be a delay in mail service with merchants, and individuals who send mail to the former location if the previous number to the address is changed, or in the case of a business, the new business might have the same address of the tenant who is next door, and the new tenant might send back a package, or an important piece of mail, when the old tenant might possibly be next door, but you don’t have an idea that this has occurred. Sometimes when a house builder tears down a house, they might possibly build condos, townhomes, and apartments, but the city is going off of old data, that the location was previously a single family home, that has now turned into a 500 unit luxury flat residence, and then they start getting tenants, and the old address was 14503 Winding Road Dr., and the builder changes the address to 14505 Winding Road Ct., and doesn’t inform the city that this is a new 500 unit luxury flat residence, and the city sends out water bills, to the old address, and the items are returned to the sender, now you have a problem. It’s important for the builder to communicate with the Postal Service, the city, and other logistical merchants if possible, because some individuals don’t know their correct address, and in order to stop confusion, communication is important between all parties, location, communication, can make a difference!

When we move to our new destination often, some of the first things that we do are to find out where the grocery stores are in the neighborhood, where the schools are if you have children, where the post office is located so that we can find out about our mail, and what is the status of you receiving it, who is your Mailman, FedEx driver, and UPS driver, and where are the mailboxes located so you can get your mail. It’s always amazing to wonder why people seem to think that if you don’t have your name in your mailbox, then your Mailman will assume that no one is residing at your residence, an indicator is often a card that will ask you to leave your last name in your mailbox. We sometimes ignore this simple request when the Mailman is telling you in so many words, no name, no mail. If you live in a residential property it’s a good idea to put the last names of all of the residents who are going to be residing at the address because often sometimes residents allow friends or relatives to move in temporarily, or long-term, and on the inside of the mailbox you have all of the current residents and you state these names only, i.e., Jones, Hartman, and Sanders, but you forget to list Smith, and they have a package, and their name isn’t listed, then the package will be returned to sender, the best thing for any resident to do is to establish a relationship with your logistics personnel, get to know them, and maybe they can save you money on sending, receiving letters, or packages. If you have special preferences regarding ringing the doorbell, or a disability, fill out the special instructions tab on the registration page. Remember, if you don’t put your name in the box, there will be no mail. Here’s to a great week!

Some people are beginning to order items online, and are only using their first name only, I’m unsure if this is for security purposes, but if your Mailman is going by your last name only then you could have a problem, because your item could be returned to the sender, but if they’re familiar with your first name then you could receive your item without a problem. If your address is incomplete then it could be a problem because some Mailmen, or logistics companies might only know you by your last name, and if your address is insufficient then your item could be returned to the sender, and then there’s a problem with the merchant who has billed your credit card for the item that you have ordered, and haven’t received, so the best thing to do is to verify your name, address, shipping address, along with your zip code, because if one item is off it could affect you receiving an item that you might be waiting for in order to take a trip such as a credit card, passport, plane tickets, and etc.

Another growing trend in neighborhoods, is for a family member to move in a friend, or a relative, and inside of your mailbox you might have the Smith family only, but your friend who has moved into your home, or apartment has the last name of Johnson, and they order an item off of Amazon, and your Mailman, or logistics company driver might assume that only the Smith family lives at your residence, and then the item is returned to the sender because your Mailman only knows one name that lives at the address. It is your responsibility to update the person who delivers your mail, or packages if something regarding your mail changes. Remember your last name matters, use it wisely. Here’s to a great week!

In the new age of the Internet people are beginning to open more home-based businesses around the world. With companies like Ebay, and Amazon, and the emergence of e-commerce people can make an order over the Internet, or sell an item from their home, and print out the shipping label from their computer, and confirm with their preferred logistics company that they have a pickup that needs to be sent out the next day. This level of e-commerce is going to continue to grow because not having to leave your home is appealing to a lot of stay at home Moms who run home based businesses out of their homes, but what happens when you decide to move?

If you fail to update your credit card information with vendors then you risk your items being delivered to your old address, and lets face it everyone isn’t honest, and will not set your item back outside for the Mailman, UPS driver, FedEx driver, and etc., to pickup in the event that there is an error in the delivery, you have to remember that when you have a business, it’s personal, it’s your responsibility to take care of your business, delays could hurt you, and sometimes if there is a problem in a delayed package, or a returned package, the sender on the other end will assume that you’re trying to rip them off, when it was an honest mistake that was made in your moving process. Here at www.iwantmymail.com you can change your address, correct your mistake in real time, your relatives or business associates can do a search if your a registered member, they will not see your address, they will only see your name, and e-mail, or cell phone to contact, and verify that this is indeed you for verification, and business purposes, no matter where you are in the world!

Moving, we all do it at some point in our life, it’s extremely rare for an individual to stay at the same place forever. When we finish high school as individuals we all go in separate directions, some join the military, go to college, get married, or go on our very own individual journey in life, but when we move our mail has to follow us, and taking the necessary steps to make sure that it follows us is something that we must take a responsibility for. The change of address is the standard form for getting the process started through the Postal Service. If you’re moving as an individual it’s important that you fill out the form correctly, because if you make a mistake it could take over one month for the mistake to be corrected. Your name, and address must be correct, so if you do business with a merchant, and they’re not spelling your name correctly it’s very imperative that you notify them to correct the error, because when your mail is forwarded and your name isn’t spelled correctly then your mail will be returned to the merchant, relative, friend, and etc., if your street address isn’t correctly put down, i.e., 5705 Brown Street and you fill the form out as being 5703 Brown Street then you will have a problem getting your mail forwarded to you because of an error, that someone might have mistaken the number 5 for the number 3, human error does occur during this process so it’s important that when you receive your confirmation details to look at them and verify that they’re indeed correct. Individual, family, and business are also important, because if you move as an individual you never want to check off family because you will effect your families mail if you do this. Moving never stops, pay attention to the details when it comes to your mail. Questions or comments feel free to comment on the blog post! Here’s to a great week!
