You can change it on MUGSI as well, but to be able to get the mail from them, I would call them just to make sure that everything gets sent out as soon as possible!

Thanks Sara
I did change it and I'll call them on Monday but I think I'll have to go in person to pck up the files
I put down 5460 instead of 5469. Damn the 0's adjacency to the 9.

Maybe you could go to your neighbours at 5460 (if that number exists on your street) and see if they still have anything they got from Mac?

I wouldn't be surprised if your neighbour has it. My whole street has the same postal code as me.

If the postal code was right, but the address is wrong, there's one of 2 possibilities, either it's at your neighbour's house, or it's at the post office since they probably returned/will return it to Mac because of the wrong information =]

If the latter, you'll definitely have to pick it up in person :(. I'd still call them before going though!
Hope all works out!

Yea, postal code is by area. So the people you live around will have the same one. The further away they get the lst couple digits change a little.

Oh wow, 19 years later and I learn something about something I see everyday XD.

Incase anyone wants more information:

Quote:
An LDU denotes a specific single address or range of addresses, which can correspond to an entire small town, a significant part of a medium-sized town, a single side of a city block in larger cities, a single large building or a portion of a very large one, a single (large) institution such as a university or a hospital, or a business that receives large volumes of mail on a regular basis.
LDU is the last 3 digits/letters of the postal code. (source: Wikipedia)
