Is it normal to have the letterbox that far back off the street? Not that it is an excuse in this day in age with technological advances such as GPS, and counting house numbers.

CityofOrphans t1_ja9gbxz wrote

In my area, this is normal. I'm a mail carrier. So there are two different types of delivery, mounted and walking. Mounted means the boxes are all on the curb and you don't need to leave the vehicle to deliver unless the parcels are too big to fit in the box. Walking is what this house is, where the box is on the property and the carrier walks up one side of the street and down the other side back towards where they parked their mail vehicle. In my experience, location of the mailbox in that case varies wildly. Some are like this house, some boxes are right next to the sidewalk, some are inside the residents' garage, some are in their entryway and you have to open their outer door to deliver.

Older homes like mine (1938) have a metal covered slot by the front door and the mail is collected in the living room. It’s really nice on inclement weather days.

I wonder if they belong to an HOA who complained about a lack of visible address, and this was their way of maliciously complying.

People not delivering packages. Shit happens to me even with numbers on the side of my God damn house already. I put a bunch of spotlights on them and added more numbers but not as redneck engineered as this.

Honestly, if they did the numbers on the house with a brush and nicer paint instead of a rattle can it would look kind of nice.

Probably old impulsive people or people who were raised really poor etc This looks like something my dad would do...

He painted out house number on the house or fence a few times when he expected someone important to visit and was afraid they won't find our house. Or even wrote whole messages on a wooden plank and put it in front of the house "Darek, drop the hay next to the coal" or something

One other thing that came to my mind rn.. One time he wrote the guarantee dates of different devices on the TV, fridge, stove, washing machine... WITH A PERMANENT MARKERRRR.. when it was already past the date.

Damn dad.. 😩 Some people are just like that..

I can see this as malicious compliance as to having your house numbered, or as a lot for an auction or demolition.

I had a FedEx driver deliver a bike to my front door that I needed to sign for. Good thing for whomever ordered it because he was at the wrong house. Driver said something like, "Where is your house number?". Now, it may not be as obvious as ol' fiddysix here, but I replied, "it's on the wall right here, both sides of the mailbox, and painted on the curb".

I wonder if this person got tired of misdirected packages and went nuts with the spray paint while swearing.

As a courier I appreciate this here homeowner. The amount of queefs I deliver to without visible house numbers is infuriating. Sorry your courier sucks at reading!

GlitteringBobcat999 t1_ja8sjnx wrote

It's only happened the one time. It was a real comedy of errors, too, as I had a scheduled pickup from UPS that day, and they won't actually ring the bell. I have them on the Ring camera running up to the porch, sticking the "sorry we missed you" label on the door and running back to the truck. I was determined to catch him before he could run away this time, so I ran to the door when FedEx man arrived. I was in such a hurry both dogs got by me and ran barking onto the porch, scaring the poor FedEx guy, all with me trying to hand him the return packages, him trying to give me the bike, both of us confused for maybe 30 seconds before figuring it out. (Fortunately, we have an external gate at the porch entrance, and FedEx guy retreated behind it.) With so much chaos, I'm sure he will always remember our house. Poor guy.

Epilog: After this incident, I got an inside gate so dogs can't get to the front door at all.

I've had them straight up deliver to a different house and then snap a picture that even shows the wrong number they put the package next to. Some of them are straight up incompetent.

So the FedEx guy didn't know what your house number was, but somehow also thought you had a package to be delivered? Was he guided by The Force or Jesus?

Tools4toys t1_ja9vsfl wrote

We get stuff for the wrong houses quite a bit. All of ours houses have low numbers, ie., 1-12 for five different streets. So we've often gotten items for other houses in the sub-division. The biggest one, we had a 15 cubic yard dumpster put in our driveway. They had to drive by the correct house to get to our house, with the good news is they came back and got it before I could even call to let them know the mistake. Assume the neighbors who ordered it saw them go by, then stopped them on the way out, and they came and got it.

EDIT: Was going to say, usually we just take mis-delivered packages over to the person who ordered it, so FedEx UPS USPS, gets they're mistakes corrected without any effort.

The front door has about a foot of clearance too. I’m thinking they get a TON of snow and they’ve put their house number in several places to hedge their bets for deliveries in the winter.

Im serious, thank you. I grew up rural, probably why I never heard it. Now i know of the house numbering scheme. Figures they would do that, major highways do the even (east/west), odd (north/south).

Don't laught

I have two big ass numbers and street name signs on our House. There is a third one on the other side of the house.

Problem is that the front of our house is on a different street. This can be confusing.

Parcel carriers still manage to confuse the house. It's frustrating.

Delivery drive said he couldn't find my house because it wasn't properly marked so he had to return to the store with my pizza. Called and had him come back, I stood outside. He finally got there after 2 hours total after ordering pizza. I pointed to the numbers beside my door, I pointed to the numbers on my mailbox. Pointed to side walk where they were spray painted on. Pointed to where they were beside garage door. Not really sure what else I could have done. Road flairs in shape of the numbers? Maybe a light in the sky like the bat signal with the numbers? Honestly, I just think he was lying.

Maybe a standard emergency service address sign, with large (several inch) reflective letters on colorful sign, generally green, blue, or red & available at lowes or most any hardware store, and very possible from your local emergency services agency would be a better choice.

So it is visible at night. Maybe put one of the places that people normally post their address.
