I don't think they say the address right away when you ask for it. Fairly certain they ask you to confirm your name and the address that's meant to be on the package and mention if it is the same or not. Regardless, this certainly raises a concern.

Just did it and the call went like this: Me: I'd like to confirm the address of a package being sent to me. Agent: Is it the package ending in the code XXXX? Me: Yes Agent: What is the address? Me: The address is XXX XXXXX. Agent: No, the address listed is YYY YYYYY. Me: Thanks. Beyond being disappointed it wasn't my address I have to say I was a bit surprised they let the address out that easily. She could have easi…

Hmm, interesting. I called in and they asked me to confirm the address but never repeated the actual listed address. Guess it depends on who's on the other end.

Yes, what a pity it's reserved to US citizens :/

Yet another reason why you should move to SF. :)

Or Lake Wobegon. S.F. ⊆ U.S

No one in my zip code is getting one. Hope the DB is wrong ;)

I'm curious how a list of tracking numbers was obtained/derived. Anyone care to guess (or know)?

easy. with ups you can track zip/city to zip/city. thus they know what city and zip they are coming from thus they add your zip or city and wahlaa you have your results

How do you do that? I've just looked again on UPS customer tracking pages and their developer API pages and can't find any such search functionality.

Thanks

it looks like half of a list. Pretty uniform distribution for zipcodes from 00000-50000, very few 50000+?

Yeah, you'd expect more being sent to the 90000 range, which includes S.F.

Since Lake Wobegon got left off the map, it might be hard to move there or get your Cr-48 delivered :)
