    My mother was sent a letter from Australia to New Jersey. The lady knew my mother’s unique first name and the state/town name and that was it. (And what country obviously)

    So it was just addressed to First Name, Country, State, City Name

    It got to the town where it was pinned to the board for unknown letters. Our mailman went “oh that’s on my route” and brought it to mom lol

      Meanwhile I sent a birthday card last month with a correct and fully clear address and it got returned “unable to deliver unknown address” in Wisconsin. I double checked, it was the correct address. Not even a hard to find one. Literally a house in a neighborhood. Not even some middle of nowhere, need to know it’s there to find it kind of place.
