    Hey all. I have only received packages via FedEx and my mail is spotty so I always put fedex address and pick it up. This week I gave the address to two shippers and they happened to be my first two UPS packaged. I was able to change the address, however when I called they said I needed business letterhead since it was addressed to fedex. If not I would need a birth certificate and ss card. Anyone have this happen to them?

    Never heard of this before but I assume you can take your info in and get the package claiming the shippers put the wrong address down?

    As an FYI you can have someone mail a package to your address and while its in transit request it to be held at your local store rather than listing the stores address

    Yea, I realize that. I have never received UPS and was under the assumption this would be a Fedex package as well last 40 trades were.

    I've never heard of anyone doing this before. I'm sure you've come to this realization now, but it probably would have been a good idea to ask your trade partner which shipping provider they use before giving them a FedEx shipping address.

    Haha yea I did realize this, I just assumed that since I provided a fedex address that was address to fedex home
    Office, the shipper would know this was okay or at least ask before just shipping.
