This is wierd!
Anyone else have issues where there grown Skids still get all their mail at your house and refuse to put in a forward at the post office? It sounds like it would be a minor annoyance but my SS25 is a diabetic and gets his stuff delivered here. We can't get him to come get it and he goes days without it! This is a major health hazard. So then my DH drives over 35 miles to bring it to him. This is not only a waste of money it is a waste of every ones time! Just give the right address when you order stuff! He is also a video game junky and used to get 8 packages a day. Then my DH would hop in the car and drive them over!
I have asked them politely to change it. They don't do it. The fed ex guy said if I had not been home he would not have even delivered it. This also happens with the SDs.
If you want to be nice, write
If you want to be nice, write on the mail "no longer at this address, please forward to new address" and put it back in the mailbox. If want to be less nice, simply put "no longer at this address" and put it in the mailbox. Don't answer the door for Fedex or UPS. If it doesn't get delivered, it is not your problem.
Don't know what to tell you about DH driving the stuff to the skids. If he would quit doing that they would change their addresses. This would drive me crazy as well - but falls under the "not my monkey, not my circus" mantra.
True but my monkey takes time
True but my monkey takes time away from us to drive his kids mail to them. Date time and we are already one over scheduled family.
Maybe I will get a stamp
Maybe I will get a stamp made. We are talking a lot of mail. Mainly junk.
Hahahahaha, that's great.
Hahahahaha, that's great. Yes, get a stamp made, perfect
Are you able to just do it? Can you go to the post office and put in a change of address for him specifically (you don't want your mail accidentally going to him!)?
There might be a cost, there is one here but I would think it would be worth the price to not have to deal with it.
If anyone gets angry or upset that you took it into your own hands just tell that no one was doing anything so you did.
And make sure they know that if you ask them to take care of something and they don't you'll do it again!
This would really piss me
This would really piss me off. I get enough junk in my mailbox that I have to sort through.
Send it all back, "no such person at this address".
Or, can a person let the post office know to NOT deliver mail to that address unless it's to so-and-so and so-and-so? I would find out. It seems you should have every right to not let a person use your legal address as their own when they do not live there.
Tell them either they can
Tell them either they can fill out the change of address information with the post office or you/DH will. Give them a week to do it, tops. You're way past the polite request stage.
My family has always used
My family has always used each other's addresses. When one or the other of us is on international assignment we change our official address to the home of whoever is living in the US at the time.
I know, extenuating circumstances, but it works for us.
If you are home when FedEx shows up, decline acceptance and give them the proper address. End of issue.
