Having credit cards mailed to your home for employees. Why would an employer do this? The best solution for a problem like this would be to have the cards sent to your place of employment, unless you have trust issues with receiving mail at your place of employment. Normally for security purposes, credit card companies will need unique information about the individual, who will be receiving a credit card from the merchant such as date of birth, social security number, your home address, and the ability to answer three security questions to correctly identify, and authenticate your account in the event that your card becomes compromised, lost, stolen, or falls into the hands of a hacker in the event of a security breach. You own a company that is a medical consulting company called Top Med Consulting, inside of your mailbox you have your name, Dr. Tim Harris, M.D., and your girlfriend also lives with you by the name of Bria Thompson, so on your mailbox label you include your last names of Harris, Thompson, and the name of your medical consulting company, and you specify that no other names receives mail at this address, but the credit cards that you ordered for your employees arrive and in the names of Samantha Simpson, and Riley Thomas, if you don’t update your list of names inside of your mailbox, you could run into a problem such as their mail being returned to the sender, because the letter carrier is trying their best to follow the names that you have inside of your box, who receive mail at your address. In the event that one of the employees decides to leave the company for another opportunity will you remember to close out the credit card, because if you forget, and the employee is disgruntled they could potentially run up charges on the card that you authorized for them to have because you established with the credit card that your home of record was where the credit card bills were to be sent. Remember, having credit cards mailed to your home for employees could be a gamble like Las Vegas, you could crap out. www.iwantmymail.com

Turning off your Ring alarm, and non-working doorbell could help a thief steal your mail, and packages. This sounds like a catch phrase, but the reality is that a thief will always look for clues to help them to steal mail, or packages off of your porch. Things that a thief will look for are they will actually ring your doorbell to see if it’s working, and if they don’t hear the distinctive sound that the Ring doorbell makes, along with its other competitors then they will assume that your batteries are down on the alarm, or that something is simply not working properly with your alarm, which will then make them feel more comfortable with trying to steal something out of your mailbox, or a package that was left on your porch. If the doorbell isn’t working then they will try to knock on your door, and if you don’t respond to the knock, then they will feel like it’s time for their plan to spring into action to steal items out of your mailbox, and packages off of your porch. What do they look for to help them steal items off of your porch, they look for signs like doorbell not working, please knock, or they see that your doorbell has been removed, or that it’s being repaired, they also look for signs such as baby sleeping don’t knock on door, or if they don’t hear a television playing they will assume that no one is at home, if your lights are turned off they will assume that no one is at home.
How do you defend against activity like this from porch pirates? If you’re expecting a package, and you have a neighbor who is retired, tell them to pickup your item, and to hold it for you until you get home from work. If you can have items delivered to your job, it’s better than having it delivered to your home, because you will be there to receive it. Don’t leave signs to let thieves know that your doorbell isn’t working, if they see a sign, they will look at it like a window of opportunity. Remember, turning off your Ring alarm, and non-working doorbell could help a thief steal your mail, and packages. www.iwantmymail.com

The Nanny is using our address to receive packages! Sounds like a bold statement, but with all of the theft that is occurring with porch pirates watching your house to see if anyone is at home, actually having a nanny that stays at home for the majority of the day, while you, or your spouse is at work is a nice option to have in the event that someone from the USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, Amazon, or any other logistical provider might attempt to deliver a package at your home. Since a lot of people would rather order items from the comfort of their homes, the nanny is no exception, that’s why it’s important to let your regular letter carrier know that the name Robertson is a good name, because the nanny receives packages also at this address. If you have a name tag in your box, it’s always important to add the last name of the nanny, because if you choose to go by what’s written in your mailbox only, then the mailman, or mail lady will assume that only the Johnson family lives at the address, so adding the last name of Robertson will help delivery personnel recognize that there is more than one name residing at this address. Ordering items from the same company can cause problems if you don’t take the time to look at the name that is printed on the label section of the box. Ebay, Coach, Neiman Marcus are popular amongst shoppers, but the key thing for retailers is to disguise the contents of the package, because if the package has a brand name, then a porch pirate is more than likely going to take the opportunity to steal your brand new pair of Air Jordan’s.
The Nanny must realize that if the Johnson family decides to move, then the Nanny must go to the websites where their information can be updated to change the delivery location from the house on 11700 Dairy Way Road to their actual home on 1900 Skateboard Blvd., this also includes the mail that the nanny was receiving at the Johnson family residence, because all mail that doesn’t have the name Johnson will be returned to the sender, and sometimes for security purposes. www.iwantmymail.com

Auto-shipping packages, moving should matter to you! What exactly does this mean. If you order items online, your information is stored if you have an online account with the merchant that you order from so that it’s easy for you to click on an item that you like, and if your information is stored, you simply click on the item that you want, and approve the transaction as long as your credit card information is stored as well, then you will receive an email regarding your purchase along with the tracking information, and who will be the preferred shipper delivering your item to your address. The key thing about auto-shipping packages is the rate that the item comes to your address, and if you move it’s up to you to log into your account to update your information in the event that you might move, because if your logistics delivery company is DHL, it’s possible that they might not have the information regarding your most recent move from Cambridge, Massachusetts to Greensboro, North Carolina. So if you have an item coming from a weight-loss company, and you don’t notify them in the address portal of their website that your home of record has changed then the auto-shipped product will continue to be delivered to Cambridge, Massachusetts instead of your new address in Greensboro, North Carolina.
If you run a home-based business it’s important to update your address labels, because if you use your previous address to mail items to customers, and the item is refused by the receiver then you could have problems getting the item returned to you because of the fact that you used an old address, and the delivery merchant doesn’t know that you have made the move from Cambridge, Massachusetts to Greensboro, North Carolina. Remember, when you get to your new location identify your mailbox with a label with all residents residing at your present location with last names to help delivery personnel identify who is living at your residence, this can make life a lot easier for you, and your family, or roommates. Auto-shipping packages, moving should matter to you! www.iwantmymail.com

Spring time, wedding season, your postcard, your mail, your gifts! It’s the time of the year, when couples make plans to get engaged, and send out wedding invitations to their friends, and families around the world. A lot of couples are skipping the traditional wedding invitation, and taking their own photos, and putting them on their very own custom postcards to send around the world. One of the key questions that you should ask yourself is how accurate is your address list to your friends, and family? Have they moved, when is the last time that you contacted your friends, or relatives? Have you sent out an email to them to verify their address? Do they have your current address? Are you planning on moving after your wedding?
The postcard that you send out to your relatives should be written in a legible manner, because if it’s hard to read, or the letter S looks like an 8 then it can cause your invitation to be returned to you, also if you send out wedding invitations make sure that the recipient’s address is in the center of the postcard, and that the sender is always in the top left-handed corner of the postcard, because if you put your name below the recipient the machine will read the bottom address as being the recipient of the postcard. Also include your address in case the postcard is returned to you because one of your friends, or family members might no longer live at the address that you have on file. If you plan on moving one month after you get married, try to include your new address if you’re going to have a gift registry where you’re going to receive your gits, or if they’re going to be mailed to your new address. Spring time, wedding season, your postcard, your mail, your gifts! www.iwantmymail.com

If you notice a mistake, on your mail, or package, correct it! Sounds like a bold statement, but a lot can happen if you don’t fix the issue, before it becomes a problem. During holidays, and birthdays people often choose to order items online, versus going into a busy shopping mall, where we have to deal with crowds, as well as traffic, so it’s easy, and convenient to order items online that can be ordered in a secure, and safe platform on the Internet. You actually live in Jersey City, New Jersey, and you have a relative who lives in Santa Monica, California, who has a sweet 16 birthday coming up next week, so you use your credit card to order her the Louis Vuitton purse that she has been wanting, and you change the order details of the shipping from coming to your house to the address of your niece in Santa Monica, California, the transaction is complete, and you receive the confirmation email, with details of the tracking information, and who is going to be the logistics carrier delivering the item to your niece’s house. Three days later you receive a coupon from Louis Vuitton that gives you 30% off for your order of a new purchase, so you decide to go back online to shop, and you order items for yourself, along with your daughter, and you forget to change the shipping information that you changed to send your niece her birthday gift to Santa Monica, California, so guess what is going to happen, your order is going to be shipped to Santa Monica, California instead of Jersey City, New Jersey. To correct the problem, always double check the shipping information before you finalize the transaction because once you click to complete the transaction it can’t be changed unless you call the 800 number of the merchant to correct the mistake. The same thing can be said about your mail, if your name, or street address is misspelled, correct the error with your credit card company, because if your last name is Smith, and someone does a typo, and spells it Smyth, and you decide to move, your mail will not be forwarded until you correct the mistake. If you notice a mistake, on your mail, or package, correct it! www.iwantmymail.com

Think twice before putting a suite number on your home based business. Sounds cliché, but there are reasons why this can become a problem if you decide to move from the house that you’re currently renting from. Adding a suite number in most regards will solidify you, and your consumers who buy products from your home based business that you actually own a business suite at 11743 Goodfellow Dr., Suite 124 Jackson, New Hampshire 03846, when the address is actually a single family home that you have been renting for the past 10 years. Your landlord, who is the owner of the residence that your currently renting has decided to increase your rent by $500 per month, so you have decided that the price is too high, and you will terminate your lease when your contract ends in 90 days. You have family in Boston, Massachusetts, as well as New York, New York, and Tampa, Florida as well, but you haven’t decided which city will be your final destination until you find a property to buy. You complete your research, and Tampa, Florida is your choice. So you fill out the change of address card, and you put your name, and address, but you also include Suite 124 on the form, it has been one month since you moved, and you haven’t been receiving any of your mail, and your customers in Milan, Italy, Paris, France, and London, England are complaining that they have sent you checks for dresses that you have promised to send to them for the upcoming fashion week in London, England. Is there a solution to fix this problem?
There is a solution, first the individual needs to fill out a change of address with the Postal Service, and check the box entire family, just in case you might receive something in your middle name, leave off of the suite number, 11743 Goodfellow Dr., is the number that the Postal Service identifies with, do a mass email to your clients to let them know that you have moved, and give them your new address, call your credit card companies and inform them that you have moved, and update your address, and if you receive drop shipments contact the vendor who sends you the items that you receive on a monthly basis to let them know that you have a new residence. Fill out a change of address with your business name, this should always be separate from your individual, or entire family change of address form. Think twice before putting a suite number on your home based business.

Taxi cab drivers delivering packages in your neighborhood, sounds shocking, but it’s beginning to happen a lot more than we think. Recently, my neighbor witnessed a taxi driver trying to find an suite number to a house, the taxi cab driver didn’t realize that the customer had a home based business where they sold high-end items on Ebay, that were shipped from Milan, Italy, as well as Paris, France, and London, England, and that most of their customers were looking to receive items to wear for the upcoming fashion week in Tampa, Florida, they also ship packages to consumers in the Dallas, Texas area, as well as Los Angeles, California, and New York City, New York area where models from various backgrounds will be walking the runway in the upcoming fashion week in Tampa, Florida. The curb outside of 11489 Symphony Drive doesn’t have the address painted so that the taxi cab driver can see the correct address, nor does the house have the number on it so that it can be identified, and the house across the street doesn’t have a number painted on the curb, nor does it have the house number on it as well. How can the cab driver find a solution to his problem?
Luckily the taxi cab driver sees the Mailman delivering mail, and packages in the neighborhood, and asks where 11489 Symphony Drive Suite 100 is located, the Letter Carrier then tells the taxi cab driver that the customer is running a home based business so they use a suite number, and tells the taxi cab driver to look at the last name which is Brown, and when he walks up to the house he should see a rug that has the name Brown on it to further help to identify who is living at the address. If your expecting a delivery, and your tracking the information, and you see that the delivery driver is coming late, try to leave your light on so that they can see your house better, the dangerous thing about using a taxi cab driver is that they don’t have a uniform on that customers identify with, so it’s important to let the customer know that a taxi cab driver will be delivering packages in your neighborhood.

We’re moving out of the city, I will let everyone know that we have a new mailing address! This is a bold statement to make especially since you also run a business out of your home, and over the years you have depended on those checks to come to your home on a certain day of the week from your clients worldwide. Over the years since you, and your family have resided at your luxury home in the city, you have established a contract with UPS where they come to your location, and pick up your merchandise that you send out worldwide to your clients. Upon moving you put in a change of address through the Postal Service, but you put it as an entire family, which makes sense, but your wife is a Doctor, who prefers to use her maiden name which is Ortega-Sanchez, instead of your last name, which is Green, and you have only put in a change of address for your business Greenwave Inc., but your wife didn’t submit a change for her Dermatology business, which is called Skin Perfect Dermatology, your son, who is going to college out of state, also has a different last name than Green, so there wasn’t a change of address submitted in his name as well. After holding mail for the prior residents, and there isn’t a change of address submitted in your wife’s business, nor her last name, and no change of address submitted in your son’s last name as well, all of their mail will be returned to the sender after 10 days.

Is there a solution to fix all of these issues, yes, there is a solution. If you call (800)ASK-USPS you might have the opportunity to speak to your former carrier, or supervisor to explain your dilemma, after being informed to submit change of address forms for all family members with different last names, as well as business addresses as well, the only thing left to do would be to call UPS, to inform them that you have moved out of town, and see if they still provide the same service in your new location. Call all of your credit cards, magazine subscriptions and inform them as well of your new address, and update any items that you might auto-ship from. We’re moving out of the city, I will let everyone know that we have a new mailing address, sounds simple, but there are a lot of pieces to consider before completing your move. www.iwantmymail.com

Using nicknames to receive mail, and packages, some might be alarmed at the title, but believe it, or not people actually order items online, and also receive mail using nicknames, or aliases. Why do people do this, one might ask, and it might be a name that someone in your family gave you when you were growing up, or when you joined the military, or someone in your fraternity in college gave you while you pledged to a sorority, or frat club. Nicknames can cause problems if you have your family name inside of your mailbox, and it says Wilson family only, and you receive a letter titled, Stud Muffin, or Beautiful Princess, to name just a few, normally your logistics personnel will attempt the mail, or package to see if it will be accepted, or if it will have a note that states, no longer at this address, or not known at this address, or simply return to the sender. One of the main problems with nicknames is that when you decide to move items with your nickname will be returned to the sender because your legal name is what goes on the change of address form through the Postal Service, unless your nickname has actually became a business name for you, and in that case you would fill out a change of address with your business name, and check business when filling out the form.

Believe it, or not people actually order packages using their first name only, and this might work when you live in a single family home, but it can be a major problem if you live in an apartment complex where there are 50 other residents who share the same name as Amy, and the sender forgot to put your apartment number when you placed your order on their website, so unless you catch the error, and notify the Postal Service, or the delivery merchant, as well as your apartment office, then more than likely your Ebay order will be going back to the seller. The morale to the story is to think twice when using nicknames to receive mail, and packages, it could cause problems with you receiving your deliveries.
