Once I ordered paint to be sent over on the ferry. It came on an earlier boat than I expected. One of the crew brought it to my house with only my first name on the boxes. This has happened at the Post Office also, getting mail with only my first name!

Go to the exact locations and take comparison photos etc. Just a suggestion! Happy 4th! Jeff,
