How do you deal with houses with no address numbers on them?

Are you ashamed of the place?

Oh Yeah
If its not a bunch of boxes and just 1 here and there, ill check their mailbox for mail and try to confirm correct address, but if its a lot of different houses I agree with Brownslave nsn that bitch lol. You don't have to waste doing that all the time.

Sometimes the only way to teach people to put up address numbers is the NSN their stuff a couple times. Same goes with the people who don't put their apt. # on their package. I'm not going to research through the leasing office. Its a learning lesson that when you order stuff online you need to give the correct details.
I'll open the mail box and look for a number. If I can't find a number to eliminate the house or the right number I will NSN the package. Some rural routes I have covered the house numbers don't go in order and or house number 980 might be across the street from number 133 so guess doesn't work well.
There is nothing wrong with NSN a package. It the same as not delivering because there is no Apt number or Suite listed. After a couple of times people will put a number on there mailbox or apt#, suit on there package.
Those 911 signs work pretty good except in most location in order to get one you have to pay a fee to the local fire district.

I usually say that to the customer...”911?.......My house is the one on fire”

On a rural/woods run you have to put a little extra work into finding stuff until you learn the route. NSN'ing every other stop because you don't want to spend a few minutes to find the place is lame. One woods run I did had a rural mail carrier that used a white marker to write the number on the inside of the newspaper box next to the mailbox. Not a federal offense and no one complained.
Once you learn the route, it's not an issue. A rural bid driver expects to come back to a few send agains and postcarded stops, but don't be a dick.

For the purpose of this thread, wouldn't you technically sheet it NFN?

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Many mailboxes have the numbers written on the inside of mailbox. A county on a grid system can do wonders too. Just watching the mileage can get you very close to a house in these counties.

Yes, I know I'm working late.
I always hate the cheap gold stick on numbers on black mailboxes. Impossible to see at night. They should be illegal

Oh I forgot.... we got a bunch of genuises that reverse the numbers on the back of the box supposedly to see in the rear view mirror . 721 on one side and 127 on the other. Freakin morons

In the early years I delivered to a small open pit iron ore mining town that had one section of town that had all company built little houses. They were all identical. The real kicker was that when mining was in its hay day they would move these houses as the mine got larger. After a few years the house numbers had no rhyme or reason to them. You could have 3 different packages addressed to 101, 307 and 516 and they would all be on the same block. Also while delivering in the country you could go for miles and miles without seeing a name on a mailbox. We used 3 X 5 index cards to draw maps where everyone lived. If you were a vacation driver you never wanted to piss off the regular driver or he would take his card box with him on vacation and leave you in the dark.

Naw, the unkept keep stealing the gold plated numbers off the street.

If you dont have a visible house number you shouldn't expect delivery service, let alone fire or ambulance. I like to make snide comments to people about their lack of numbers. Sadly, they don't have a clue.

By reasoning it out. In 99.9% of situations 412 will be on the same side of the street as all the other even numbers and it will be between a smaller and larger address. If that doesn't work then just use your smart phone to "navigate to", Google maps will pinpoint every single house that isn't in the country.
