I got a guy on my street that has the same first name as me and even our house numbers are extremely similar.
Mine is like 1122 Main St and his is 1222 Main St so our mail is ALWAYS getting mixed up, PO, FedEx, UPS, you name it.
Turns out they are actually super nice people. Our mail mix up has turned in to an opportunity to actually speak with our neighbors personally. So I don't even give the mailman a hard time about it or mention it to him.
I live in Florida and they don't have AC in those trucks. Just little shitty fans. They're jobs are hard enough. I know it is a government gig but I wouldn't want to do it.
If you're getting the wrong mail, and it is not as convenient to get it to the correct party as it is for me, you could put a note on the inside of your mailbox indicating who lives there.
I had a guy do this when I moved in to a new apartment years ago before he left and I thought it was a great idea. I always do it when I move now, in addition to changing my address with the PO of course.
Hell, I have owned my house for several years now and I still have a note taped to the backside of the mailbox door listing the names of who lives here and indicating the last name of the prior home owners no longer do.
You could do the same thing by listing your exact name and address and indicating your house address is NOT the address for which they keep mistaking it. Just an idea.
