[QUOTE="whenIgetthere, post: 1626209, member: 32741"] Package is routed by zip code, if incorrect zip code is on package, it will go to the station covering that zip. On a hand written AB, the pick up courier has a chance to correct the zip. If it's power ship, the courier doesn't have that opportunity. Then, in the morning, the station has address corrections (ACO) to packages before the packages even arrive at the station. If the address is close to or identical to an address at that station (i.e. 123 Main Street), it will assign it to the route which covers that address. I had one like that today, had exact same address as one on my route, city matched, but incorrect zip. I attempted to deliver it at that address, only to find out the zip AND city were incorrect. So that package showed out for delivery, even though the shipper made an error. We don't have a master system to show when a shipper screwed up. We have plenty of mis-sorts that are our fault, though. Just putting a package in the wrong can will send it to another city or even state. [/QUOTE]
