OK....I'm warning everyone up front that if youexpecta logical answer to the following conundrum, you'll be waiting a looong time. This would make any Vulcan's head explode.
So, The Company just opened a new location......but no one knows where it is.
Well, they know WHERE it is, insofar as you can point at it and physically see that it's there, but they can't define where it is.
Why not? Because this particular location has no street address listed. Which is puzzling, because before it was acquired by The Company it used to be a different store, and there was a perfectly valid address for said store. In theory, this new one should have inherited that address. But it's as if someone took the change of ownership to mean "completely wipe this property off the map" so that the address comes up as invalid.
So it's supposed to be at 1234 South Notafake Street, West Anytown ST, 09876.
But depending on who you ask, it mght actually be at 1234 NORTH Notafake St, or maybe 1232 South Notafake St. It would also be in Anytown (as opposed to West Anytown), or in LAKE Anytown! And each of these towns has a different zipcode.
Not one of the possible permutations of the address properly validates on USPS.com, and every one we've tried to ship to has resulted in the package being returned as undeliverable, or worse, being sent to some random incorrect address!
The Company has inquires out to the post office, UPS, the town planning board, and the freaking FIRE DEPARTMENT all trying to resolve the address. This has been ongoing for THREE WEEKS!!!! IT still isn't settled!
And the craziest part of all this is they managed to get through acquiring the property, demolishing the old building, building a whole new store, stock the store, hire and train employees for the store, and OPEN IT FOR BUSINESS, all without having a valid address on file.
I don't understand how that is even possible. I mean, there's got to be REAMS of paperwork and permits associated with all this activity, and right there at the top of all them would be the ADDRESS!!!
Je ne comprends pas
The net effect on my job is I know have an entire pallet worth of returned packages that I can't ship.
And it's not even just a shipping issue. I've been told they can't get high-speed internet access at this store for the same reason.
Oy vey!!!!!
