Im in the greatest and freest country with no problems at all in the world, America, and our local fedex called me and figured out where I was since i basically have an unfindable property in another unfindable property which is indistinguishable from 7 other neighboring properties. My guess is they did something like this map because now they arrive without issue. Was a pleasant surprise since i thought they would not care and not deliver
OMG my mom, when I was in school in England, only sent one letter while I was there - addressed it to my name and “the college in Yorkshire”. No street no number and there is more than one college in Yorkshire; but they delivered it to me.
That would never fly in the US.
Dude that’s so friggen coollllll
Reminds me of one I saw years ago from Ireland with a similar address “you know the lad with the glasses, goes to the university and his da’ runs the bakery” or something to that effect. And having lived there, I have no difficulty this would find it’s recipient, haha!
Should the postal service be delivering to a sketched map? It seems like a poor use of resources, although maybe things are different in Iceland.
Odds are the postman glanced at the map and knew exactly where this was meant to go.
Iceland is a country of about 300k people, with one third of that in a single city, and it’s smaller in size than most states in the US. The resources required to figure something like this out are pretty minimal. As long as you’re not trying to map an address in Reykjavik, you’re probably fine.
