This is a package that is being sent to me.

That occurred to one of my Shipments from E-Bay.

The person I was sending it to, had the old address on their Paypal Account. So when they Paid, I sent it to that address. I checked USPS and got that same message. Contacted the Buyer and he stated the address was incorrect.

But the item evetually got rerouted to his correct address.

yeah dude happen to me before

if you have a DC it is almost always can be tracked , the worst thing that can happen is return to sender.

So hope it works for you

missent usually means the post office sent it to the wrong building, for delivery. for example it could have been sent to say california, instead of kansas. or it could also mean it was sent to the post office 2 ciies away, or even the same city. it just wasn't sent to the post office that delivers your mail.

there used to be an option called 'mis-addressed', but it has been changed to 'forwarded'; the same as when you move.

missent means the po messed up. forwarded means the shipper put the wrong, or old address.

But I think it is mostly due to a slight touch of dyslexia. I've sometimes written zips wrong, with the correct state, and it gets screwed up. I also read one address as Michigan, but the name of the town made me think of a town in Mississippi I visited a few times as a kid, and found I wrote MS. Thank goodness I usually use pre printed return address labels! I've taken to asking my wife to print me a label for shipping now.

\codes vb and c#.net
\\loves the autocomplete in the IDE, should be one IRL!

well, after almost 20 years at the post office, i know what the terms mean.
if it said missent, then usps messed up.

plain and simple. if you were using expres mail, you'd have gotten your $$ back, because it would most likely have been late.
