Frost on the Clothes Line
I don't know exactly how it happened but I ran out of chili powder AND pepper this week. Got on-line to order more from Penzy's. I put in my physical address on the first address line and on the second address line I put in my P.O. Box - the sequence requested by the Postal Service. The software took only the physical address on the first line and blanked out the P.O. Box. OK. I reversed the order. The software took the second line w/ the physical address this time and blanked out the P.O. Box again. I put in only the P.O. Box and the order went through. I e-mailed the company that their system wouldn't take both a physical address and a P.O. Box. I got a quick response stating that this was a feature of their system in order to check a proper address was entered. I thanked them for their response but suggested it was a software 'bug' more than a 'feature'. P.O. Boxes have been around a lot longer than ordering on-line - you'd think companies could have figured out a good way of handling it by now. I'm all for drone delivery when the only address you give is your GPS coordinates. (ha)
