Dear people who still mail me stuff via snail mail

[kane_magus]

The "A" in my address for the building unit number "A102" stands for "building A." The "A" does not mean "Apt." as some people like to replace it with, nor does it mean that it can just be left off entirely or replaced with a "#" sign either. Don't just assume things. If I provide my address to you for you to mail things to me, use exactly what I give you, and don't go making unnecessary changes to it.

My stuff gets to you just fine, right?

You've sent me something? o_O

Upon further consideration, I now remember that, no, I have not.

Now that I think about it you're actually a rare case of someone I DON'T send things to.

Would you like to be?

To clarify:

To my knowledge, the only person outside of the group of people that I've actually met IRL (ignoring junk mail senders and the like, of course) that has ever sent me anything via snail mail, and I to him, has been owsf2000.

I always use the exact address given to me, even if it looks wrong in the formating compared to what I'm use to. It's the easiest way to make sure any problems with the send aren't caused by me. ^^

With regards to the A in your address, I didn't think it meant building A in particular, but I didn't think it was short for Apartment either. I've seen some houses that were divided up in the past however such that 3-5 different apartments were there but they had the same street address - with just a letter designating the apartment. Having seen things like that help reinforce my tendency to try to reproduce an address exactly as specified.
