Going postal: One street, two sets of mailboxes with the same numbers
Stuff - Auckland: 4-Mar-2023
It took two and a half years for Jonathan and Pherly Dominguez to get their house – now if they could only get their mail.
Four months into living in their new house in Auckland’s Flat Bush, the Dominguez family has rarely been receiving their mail because the numbers on the letterboxes opposite them are exactly the same as those on their side of Dishys Rd.
It turns out houses on Serpent Rd, a cul-de-sac that runs parallel with theirs, have mailboxes at the back of their property which face on to Dishys Rd.
So any postie or courier delivering mail has the unenviable task of figuring out which set of 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17 is the right one.
