USPS: Amazing delivery – Letter missing complete address still arrives at granny’s house

letter_to_grannyEvery year, millions of mailpieces never make it to their intended destination because the recipient’s addresses are incorrect, illegible or missing.

So Granny Upchurch of Chattanooga, TN, was amazed when she received a letter from her 8-year-old granddaughter — even though the little girl didn’t include Upchurch’s city, state, ZIP Code or return address.

“Someone in the Postal Service went above and beyond to ensure my granddaughter’s card made it to my mailbox,” Upchurch wrote in a recent letter to the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

“Thanks USPS for taking the time to find my town and deliver it. You not only made my day, but thrilled an 8-year-old who thought her special card was gone for good,” Upchurch wrote.
