First for me with the Post Office.

Had a package I sent off to Germany sent to Arizona instead. Turns out there is a town in Arizona with the exact same zip code as the postal code of a town in Germany I was sending to.

USPS apparently decided to completely ignore the customs form, the word Germany in big letters on the front of the package, and ship to a town called Wellton, Arizona instead.

Last I checked it was "Out For Delivery" there. Hopefully they don't also have a street that matches the German town.

With my luck lately they'll either deliver it to some random house, or send back to me as an invalid address and make me pay for another International shipment for a $6.95 photo and get me saddled with an Ebay defect.

Germany is fairly close to AZ, isn't it?

I thought AZ was in Hawaii.

If the mail man either turns right or left when it gets to Flagstaff, it should get there soon! Sam Majors

I talked to one of my customers last week who had the exact thing happen to him. You would think that the package processing machines would scan the barcode on the customs form and get it to the correct place. I would love to see the barcode that was applied by the postal clerk. Do you suppose the clerk typed in the zip and didn't follow through correctly?

It was an Ebay generated label using the customer provided address and customs form. I have shipped to this customer in Germany before with no issues.

It's 2016. The word is "mail carrier" not "mail man."
