Best Posts in Thread: Any issues with home deliveries?

i wrote a landmark guide, with my name, from a well known business, church, intersection, etc. and text it to the delivery team when they call or text me.
it helps to use odometer readings in 10ths (2/10km) from your landmarks.
also, if you can, use something like turn towards the mountain or sea rather turn left or right because you don't know what direction the courier is coming from.

lately, i've included a link to my location on google maps in a follow up text..

how to find your location link on google maps ?
- zoom in on your house, put your curser on it and right click
- click on ''what's here'' in the popup menu
- left click on the gps coordinates in the window that pops up in the bottom of your screen
- click on ''send to my phone'' or ''share'' in the left hand menu

i use MyPhoneExplorer in my computer to send the directions via my cell phone.
you can store your directions in the MPE notes and copy/paste them in the msg window.

fun stuff...

 

I give simple instructions that work half the time. Half a kilometer from the highway, green gate, green roof. Any more is too much info to handle on a good day. As suggested, cell phone necessary.

 

We are in the same boat, not a true address that makes any sense. Give a cell # and things will get there one way or another.

 

Location, location, location....Make sure you can give explicit directions off main streets and then landmarks. They find their way.

 

Have experience with ordering online with Lazada. Your mobile number is critical in giving directions. Most of these delivery guys are local and they know the area even without house numbers. I see pizza delivery in my apartment complex. Not sure about having a proper street name.
