Two days in a row, someone has tried to deliver groceries here

They’ve pulled into my driveway or walked down the driveway with laden with grocery bags.

Great, but these aren’t my groceries!!!

Turns out google map has retagged my address with the wrong number. If the delivery program uses google maps and looks for that address, they find me. The other person lives a bit more than a half mile away.

Today I actually looked up the person’s house number and it looks like they’re undergoing a more substantial renumbering of their address. Like totally switching numbers. I have a 5 digit address that is shifting to a 4 digit address and they have a 4 digit shifting to a 3 digit. Problem? We share no common numbers. So weird.

I’ve found their name and a few numbers do I’ll try to call them up and see if they can add a note to their orders.

It may take a few weeks, but they'll take care of it. I had to report a Walmart that mysteriously appeared on our map.

I also went over and knocked on her door. She says she’ll be using the old address for awhile.
