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.

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

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.

Did JLCPCB compensate you for the lost package?
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).

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.

--- 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.

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

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.)

If I'm not mistaken, DHL and FedEx are not related to post offices. Maybe they don't even know the ZIP code of the post offices. :)

I was responding to a comment about poste restante, nothing to do with private parcel services. You couldn’t have them deliver to you at a post office, just as they cannot deliver to a PO Box.
