Can I pick up package from USPS with different name?
If picking up mail for someone else, the customer needs written authorization (and their own photo ID). If a person has the same last name and address of another person that mail is addressed to, they cannot pick up Accountable mail on the other person’s behalf unless a standing order is in place.
What do I do if I get a package with my address but different name?
When you receive a mistaken delivery, call customer service for the delivery company and explain the situation. Give them the tracking number on the package, as well as the name and address on the package if it’s different from yours. The company will come and pick up the product within a reasonable time frame.
Does the name on the shipping address matter?
Does the name on the shipping address matter? You can put any name on the package if you have the delivery address to a house. We recommend you always put a name on the package, preferably the correct name, to avoid misdelivery, failed delivery attempts, lost packages, or similar.
Can I receive a package without my name?
The United States Postal Service® will deliver the mail as addressed, but it does not have to be accepted. Without a specific reason to the contrary, mail sent to an address will be delivered. Mail is delivered to residential or business addresses even if the name on the mailpiece is different than the known residents.
Can I pick up my package from USPS before delivery?
Can You Pick Up a Package from USPS Before It Gets Delivered? And that’s why the USPS has instituted two different options when you want to get your hands on a package before USPS delivers it to you. You can either go with a package intercept or you can go with a package hold.
What happens if a parcel is delivered to the wrong address?
If the parcel that you’ve sent accidentally to a wrong address is still on its way, you can just get in touch with the courier service and tell them about the mistake. You don’t need to look for the specific courier who’s received the package; you need to notify the courier customer service.
Does your name have to be on the mailbox?
The general rule for carriers: “When in doubt, deliver.” There is no need for any names at all on your mailbox, and there are some good reasons not to have your name publicly posted with your address (potential identity theft, desire for privacy, even witness protection program).
How do you send an anonymous package?
To mail a package over 13oz without presenting yourself in person, you have to use IBIP (Internet Based Indicia Postage). That would be Endicia, Stamps dot com, or the USPS’s own Click ‘n Ship. (Some selling platforms that allow you to buy postage on their site tie in with an IBIP program.)
