    Obviously working the system as mentioned by someone else, but I will say as someone in shipping, if we find an empty package, we still at least get it to the area station if not the actual customer so a claim can be made by them. It does no good to not send it through at all, as then no one has any idea where it is.

    Also, a good place for a reminder, make sure your stuff is packaged well. While this seems to be a fake thing to bump ratings, cheap packages and tape fail A LOT in going from here to there, and even in the case of theft (which does happen), a securely closed package is a lot less enticing than one that’s partially open. I just saw one last week that looked a lot like this, but was certainly a legit shipping. Hoping it wasn’t medication, but it simply was a badly sealed envelope that came open and lost its contents somewhere. Probably under a belt somewhere, with no markings to trace it back to be recovered (which is also a good idea, have a phone number or address in a few places inside, not just on the outside).

    The house numbers on my block always skip one.

    For example, if my block number was the 10th block, on the odd side of the street, the house numbers are 101, 105, 109, 1013, 1017. And on the even side, they’re 100, 104, 108, 1012, 1016. (Sub dividing houses is common here, maybe they wanted extra addressing space?)

    Sometime last year, I caught an Amazon driver stalking through the back yard, as he tried to find one of those in-between addresses. Sadly he didn’t just leave the boxes at the map pin.

      But… Where are 102 and 103 then? Are they on a separate street?

      Oh wait I get it now. It’s a weird choice but ok. Where I live we just subdivide by adding letters. E.g 20 subdivide and becomes 20 and 20A.
