If I have things shipped without a note added (giving the name of this apartment complex) USPS, UPS, and FedEx can find the place, but DHL and other smaller shipping companies end up at the Mariott Hotel 2 blocks southwest of here, cannot find the apartments, give up, and return the package as undeliverable.
If I put the note in the address, then DHL and so on can find the place, but sometimes - About 5% or so of the time - some total IDIOT in the USPS redirects the package to a different zip code that's nearby, as there's a street named similarly, and an old folks' rehab place, so the package goes to their post office and sits there till it's returned as undeliverable - Despite having an accurate address on it.
It's a Catch-22 situation, I am hoping to get the management here to fix it but not sure if I can get that to happen or not...
