Overseas mail sender missed out my unit number!How?

[Masterclass17]

Hi guys,

 

Desperate liao, I purchased some stuff from US last month and the package was sent out by USPS but they missed out my unit number! The mailing address only reflected my block and postal code. I stay in a HDB by the way. Any bros have this experience and what are the options available for me to receive this package? thanks and much appreciated.

If it is a registered item...likely it will goes back to the sender...

I guess depends how friendly you are to your postman, and how well your postman likes you.

 

So far my postman help to "re-route" my packages to a relative in same block when I'm not in. Even though I never asked him to do so in the first place. Saves me a bunch of trouble from having to collect it back at the post office.

 

Have you tried calling the shipping company for advice? Maybe if there's a tracking number something can be worked out.

If it is a letter/big envelope (unregistered), you have to pray and contact Singapore post and ask for help at undelievered mail section. First find out the post office hub for your area, and visit that post office and look for the duty manager

 

If it is a parcel, very simple situation. All parcels have a serial number (even unregistered). Get this serial number from your shipper and call Singapore Post

they can definitely find it for you.

Base on my online selling experience, your chance is nil if the mail don't have tracking no., the goods will be return back to the sender.

If there is a tracking no, you can try to contact speedpost so that thier sorting centre staff can intercept the goods and place the goods on re-direct schedule.

I thought the most obvious thing to do is to call Singpost and give them the USPS tracking number?

Hi guys,

 

thanks for the input. There is a tracking number from the carrier USPS but i checked online and it just reflected that the parcel had been processed at their US office last month and no further status was available. I will call Singapore Post and visit my local post office later as well. hope to rec'd it soon!

if you have the tracking number from USPS (it will end with xxxxx US, I think) , you don't even need to go anywhere

 

just call 1605, give them the number and request re-delivery

I ever received my oversea package with just my name and postal code on the package.

 

If your other infos are in their system, they can check.

 

To send it back to the sender is more troublesome for them, I guess.
