I ask if my cousin's name (who lives here as well) might have caused some problem, no (we don't share the same last name so I knew that wasn't going to be it). The guy then asks who's blah blah? My grandma, who you know, passed away two years ago and used to live here...it was her name on the mail (so how old or long ago they found that mail in the mailbox is beyond me), it was her name on the forward address, and since I share the last name, the carrier just applied it to me for some reason. I then say, but I've received mail here for over a month (several packages during that time) and just had the issue pop up starting last Thursday. The dude says I never should been receiving mail here to begin with and doesn't know why I was and then suddenly stopped. He will file a thing that says I do live here so I shouldn't have this issue anymore. He said he will have his sorter look for my second package that had this issue because it might still be there since it just came in yesterday, and call me if they find it so I can come get it. The first package unfortunately the tracking showed that it left Des Moines, IA this morning, which is ironic because that is the package from RightStuf who is headquartered in Grimes, which is right outside Des Moines. Best part is, if they were forwarding the mail because they thought I was my grandma somehow, that forwarding should go to my parents, who just so happen to live in Germany. So know I'll have to call my dad and tell him to be on the lookout possibly for my package if it doesnt get stopped in time.
