At least deliver it to the right street!

This photo is of the street in which we live - that is our house on the left-hand side with the wooden fence in front of it. It is number 15 New Street. A few months ago our son David ordered some items via Amazon that he wanted for an event that he had booked to go to - it was a "live action replay" weekend that involved special costumes and mock weaponry - that sort of thing. The items in question were not essential to the event, and were not all that large - they would arrive in packages that would easily fit through a letterbox. However, despite being ordered well in advance, the items had not arrived within a few days of the event, so David made some enquiries. Amazon assured him that the items had been delivered several weeks before and so there was no question of him being compensated for items that he had paid for and not received. The event came and went and David thoroughly enjoyed it, although the missing items would certainly have made it better. Yesterday - a month or more after the event - there was a knock at the door and a lady handed David the two packages that he had been waiting for. They had indeed been delivered, as Amazon said, but to 15 Newbold Road and not 15 New Street! The house in question had been unoccupied at the time, and it was only when the house owner had turned up to prepare the place for a new tenant that she had found David's items on the doormat! I would have thought that the first thing to expect of a delivery driver is that he works out which street he is in!
