Two different addresses on the same property!

Two different addresses on the same property sounds crazy, but in the logistics, and delivery world it’s possible in the present, as well as the future. Apartment complexes are sometimes built on the same property, but they will have a different address than the apartment complex adjacent to them, case in point 4900 Southway Dr. Apartments could be on the same exact property as 6767 Candyway Road, but the buildings will have different colors to distinguish between them, and normally the apartments will have different numbers to help tell the difference between the two properties, but sometimes delivery drivers will be confused, and assume that both properties have the same address.

What can be done to fix the problem? Apartment complexes should clearly label all of its buildings with numbers to make it easier for visitors, as well as logistics providers to leave the right package at the right location. Merchants, and shippers should always include a clear address along with an apartment number to make it easier for the delivery driver to deliver. If you leave off the apartment number then the merchant will risk having the item returned, and what recepient wants to pay for shipping twice? If the apartment complex has a map of the property then provide the delivery service with a copy to save time in the day delivering to the correct condo, or apartment. If the facility requires a code for entry it’s in your best interest to keep the driver informed of any changes that could affect the delivery of your parcels.

Blocking the number of your door at your house can also cause problems especially if the screen door is locked, so you can’t see the number because the customer has locked their door, so don’t be suprised if your package has to wait to be delivered, because if the driver is unsure they will not deliver the item. www.iwantmymail.com
