We, for example, do not smile at a person who is at least indifferent, and we are more open in our feelings. We have a difference between a sincere and obligatory smile. But now everything is changing and the differences are being smoothed out.

It's the same everywhere as this is part of human nature. Psychologists differentiate between an "enjoyment smile" where the eyes crinkle, and a "non-enjoyment smile" where they do not. Recognizing the difference is part of the social intelligence.

That's not true in the case of mail redirection/forwarding. The post office (or whatever) has to know the identity of the intended recipient in order to divert mail such as when you move house.

Not to mention that you can send mail to "C/O General Delivery", where the addressee has a name but no mailing address at all.

Not true: it has to be addressed the correct post office, who holds it for the recipient.

For USPS, you use:
NAME
GENERAL DELIVERY
CITY STATE ZIP

Right. I didn't mean to imply that they would infer the correct address to send it (although I'm sure that's a service you can pay extra for). It's useful for sending mail to people in rural areas whose home has no delivery route (what we called in more innocent days "a mailman"). Or, indeed, to those with no fixed address.
Whether mail is delivered to a person or just a numbered box is one of the reasons for specific services that verify receipt, such as Registered Mail, Certified Mail, and Restricted Delivery. As this thread shows, it may seem more convenient to click a form saying "don't require my signature", but then you have given up one of the service guarantees that you paid for.

Did you correct the address in JLCPCB?

It seems they corrected it themselves. Now there is only one North Carolina (or NC). Note, that on the photo of the DHL package, the address was exactly how a US address should be.

Let's hope it was an unfortunate misunderstanding in the holiday rush. :)
