I sent a letter to Brussels from Brussels, formed in this style:
Attn: <employee name>
<org name>
P.B. <box №> <street>
1030 Brussel
I only added the attn: line to the top. The street probably should have been on the next line. The letter came back 3 months later with this bPost sticker:
“ne reçoit pas/plus le courrier a l’adresse indiquee”
So apparently something is wrong with that address. Whatever the problem, I cannot imagine why it took 3 months for bPost to figure out there was a problem.
That letter probably bounced around for a while before someone finally told the mailman or brought it to them.
We get these occasionally at my office and they can be passed around to several departments before we finally realize they have to be sent back.
Sounds reasonable.
This somewhat touches on a past question. I’ve wondered what are the expectations and obligations on recipients of someone else’s mail.
