Amanda Miller, I have your package

[greyautumnrain.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know an Amanda Miller, presumably living in Somerville, probably on the very same street as me? I have a small package addressed to her, but sadly with my address on it. I am guessing that there was a typo somewhere in the process of creating the mailing label, but I'd rather not knock on every door in my street trying to figure out which digit(s) of the street number was mangled. Does anyone know such a person?

maybe this one at Tufts or this one at BU ?

it's also possible that the street address is right but the city and zip code are wrong; could it be any of these ?

The Tufts Amanda Miller is most likely: she lives in Somerville (I can't get the street address with the tools I can find).

I agree, and am contacting the one at Tufts. Given that I am literally next door to Tufts it seems likely.

Any luck yet?

I'd it possible to contact the sender of the package? They might have a phone number for her and be willing to pass yours along to her in the interest of completing delivery.

The package is from China, which complicates that a bit. :)

Or is there a XX Yourstreetname Avenue/Street/Place?

(I live at XX Name St. and whoever recently moved into XX Name Ave. managed to not only send me all her mail, but also get Comcast to shut off my services to update hers. THANKS).

A possibility is that someone ordered something with a stolen credit card and had it delivered to your address with the intent of picking it up before you got to it.

People are usually good at filling in their correct address when ordering something. Usually.

Some addresses get mangled more often than others. I rarely get mail intended for others, but my sweetie gets mail for a house down the street ALL THE TIME.

Back When I Was A Boy you could just look in the phone book and call her up.
