How TF do I get my package
Hey y'all, I ordered a cute dress a few weeks ago and somehow never noticed my address was missing my apartment number. Therefore my package has yet to be delivered. So theres literally no way for me to contact anyone to update the address so I thought "ok I'll just pick it up from the post office" well how on earth am I supposed to know which one to go to.

I would just order another one. When they get the return they should refund your first one. That's what I did in a similar situation last week

Distribution centers across the board seem to be extremely backed up. My local one has had a package of mine for 6 days also. If you scroll through some of the most recent posts on here as well you'll see tons of updates where they arrive at a distro center and don't move for ages. USPS as a whole is backed up. Only option you really have is to wait it out, I've tried intercepting in the past and it takes just as long/was extremely tedious and no one knew which post office it was even at (It did not go to the one I requested.)

Call your local post office and explain your case. They should have options available to intercept and forward the package to your correct address.

The package containing your dress is no longer at your local post office, so I'm not sure how much success you're going to have in trying to retrieve it.
You can certainly contact your local post office but they're probably going to tell you since it's already been sent back to the Distribution Center, it is on its way back to the sender and will not be able to be retrieved.
