Address change?

[Willis]

Well today I found out my address is officially changing, something to do with 911 services. How should I go about handling this with D*? I see on the D* website where I can change my billing address but I can't change the service address online. I am almost scared at the thought of explaining to a CSR that I am not moving but my address is changing...anyone have an idea?

i have a lot of installs in WV and there is no problem. just call and tell them it is a 911 change.

I think the whole country should switch to the 911 address's. Nothing is more irritating than getting a work order with a P.O. Box on it.

tate ,

how about this one in WV,,,HC61, BOX61, RT 2 ,XXXXXXXX , WV

tate, i use DeLorme premimum, it doesnt work on these. guess what the address means, the rr route 2 driver hands this mail to the Carrier Handled (why it is HC instead of CH is beyond me) then he delivers it to box 610 of his route. the sub told me it took 2 hours for an ambulance to get there once, well,,,,DUH?!

When I used to live in WV, We had an HC address, The PO had our address listed with the words "Highway Contract" which abbreviated to HC.

Now for what that is supposed to mean, is beyond me.

I thought HC was highway County

We have a Rural Route address at our lake

I googled a few different forms of HC Address Highway, etc.

Seems as though it is in fact Highway Contract.

These are rural routes not serviced by USPS employees, but to a contractor.
The contractor usually uses their own vehicle to deliver mail, and gets paid a rate depending on the length of the delivery route.

yep. Our mailman at the lake drives an old beat up new yorker with flashing lights on top.
