UPS has my DOCs but can't find my house!

[abca]

I got a message from DCL today stating that UPS could not deliver my docs because the address was wrong. I called DCL and the address was correct. I got the UPS tracking # and looked it up and they have the correct address too, but have a note stating that the street could not be found. I have never had this problem before with my regular mail or other UPS deliveries. Our next door neighbor recently tracked a package delivery for himself and found out that it had been delivered to the wrong address. Maybe we have a new UPS delivery man who doesn't know the streets very well. Anyway, I'm going to try to go to the UPS office and pick up my docs tomorrow after work if I have the time; otherwise, they will try to deliver it again on Tuesday. Wish me luck!

Must be a new guy. I've had this happen. My house is on a normal street, but every once in a while a UPS guy or fedex guy decides that my street isn't as long as it is and stops mysteriously somewhere. Grrrr

Do you live on a new street? We built our house 3 yrs. ago (existing sub, new street). We still have trouble w/FedX finding our street. Sometimes it's only a few weeks between deliveries, but different driver. I guess they don't update their maps as often?

Our street must be at least 30 years old, but is is a discontinuous street. It has a lot of small segments and we live on one of the shortest segments of the street (only 3 houses). People are always driving down our street thinking it will go through.

The could hit Mapquest and find it no problem. I even found my house on the new Google satellite imagery. Scary.

I haved an aunt and uncle who live in a VERY small town. How small it it?
There are no house numbers. You address letters to The Smiths, Main Street, Your City, Your State.

They get mail no problem, but FedEX and UPS are a problem, so my uncle made up an address 123 Main Street, and put the numbers on the house.
He gets his packages no problem now.

Did you get your docs yet? I hope so!

GOOD NEWS! I was able to pick up my docs at the UPS office. Apparently our usual delivery driver is on vacation and a new driver took his route. I think they should give a map to the new drivers. Our street is clearly marked on all of the local maps.
I checked and our street sign is still up and visible on the corner and our house number is still on our mailbox and our house. We live in a suburb of about 50,000 people. I think that they should have at least called us when they couldn't find our street (our phone number is printed on the front of the package). I would have been happy to give him directions!
