I got notification today that the FedEx shipment is on its way. --- End quote --- Did you correct the address in JLCPCB? --- End quote --- 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. --- End quote --- Let's hope it was an unfortunate misunderstanding in the holiday rush. :) --- End quote --- I look at it as an experiment to test shipping options. I'd rather find out now with this inexpensive board than down the road when I have a more expensive product or a time constraint. |

I myself experimented with sending packages from JLCPCB via DHL and FedEx. DHL works out to be the fastest option for me. It usually takes 3-4 business days to Boston. FedEx once took almost 2 weeks to arrive (the package was stuck in Japan for over a week). Nothing was lost so far (knock on wood). |

Petrukhin on January 01, 2021, 03:03:41 pm ---I noticed correctly: we have more utilitarian foundations. 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. --- End quote --- 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. --- Quote from: JohnnyMalaria on January 04, 2021, 11:06:38 pm --- --- Quote from: tooki on January 04, 2021, 10:50:08 pm ---From the mail system's point of view, the name of the person/company is nothing but decoration. --- End quote --- 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. --- End quote --- 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. --- End quote --- Not true: it has to be addressed the correct post office, who holds it for the recipient. --- End quote --- For USPS, you use: NAME GENERAL DELIVERY CITY STATE ZIP https://faq.usps.com/s/article/What-is-General-Delivery --- End quote --- And if you’d finished reading that page, you’d have found this: --- Quote ---General delivery is normally available at only one facility under the administration of a Post Office with multiple facilities. A postmaster may authorize more than one facility to offer general delivery service in accordance with customer and operational needs. A customer may use only one such location. --- End quote --- As far as I know, no zip codes have multiple post offices, so by virtue of addressing to the post office at CITY, ST, ZIP you are addressing it to a specific post office. (A single post office may service many zip codes, but will itself have only one.) |

Maybe they don't even know the ZIP code of the post offices. :) |

You couldn’t have them deliver to you at a post office, just as they cannot deliver to a PO Box. |
