Stupid mistake...forgot apartment number...

So I was an idiot and forgot to put my apartment number on my address while ordering. I live in a house with five apartments...this morning I taped a piece of paper with my name on it to my apartments mailbox...any advice on what I should do? Just go to the PO and ask about it if it doesn't show up? Sorry....stupid question I know.

i would assume, if you've been living there for a while, that your mailman would recognize your mail when it came through and just put it in your box anyway. Otherwise, you did exactly the right thing.

I live in an apartment and have had mail delivered to me without an apartment. Most apartments use the same mail carrier so they start to know names. You should be ok.

The mail runner possibly may recognize your name and know you're unit #F or whatever. That's assuming you didnt use a fake name, or something. Otherwise it will likely go to the "main office" if it has one. Since you say there are only five apartments at that address I doubt you'll lose it.

Taping your name on the box is fine and will probably do the job.

I made the same mistake on my very first order and was panicking but luckily caught the vendor before he shipped it. Out of curiosity I went out to our mailbox cluster and opened my mailbox and looked inside of it. On the back, on a little piece of paper taped to the inside were the names of myself and my SO. I'm guessing at most apartments the mailmen write down who typically receives mail there since people are in and out of apartments a lot and also for forgotten apartment numbers. There's a good chance your mail carrier has done the same and it will find its way to you anyway. From what I understand, even if it doesn't find its way to you it will just get dropped off at the office and be available for you to pick up there. Either way, I wouldn't sweat it too much.

How long since you ordered? Try and contact the vendor even if it says shipped as loads of vendors seem to mark shipped and not actually ship until friday lol

You could buy a bunch of cheap clean net items and get them all sent to that address asap

I wondered why some vendors don't ship to apartments. Now I don't.
