You're lucky. I get cards saying a package could not be delivered
because my address does not exist.  Even though the card is sent to the
same address the package was.  Since ParcelFarce was railtracked they
haven't managed to deliver one package to me at home and I now have to
ask for things to be sent to my work address. Maybe they should employ
the ordinary postmen as native scouts.
