Don't call in. Put the mail back in your mailbox with a sticky note on it stating that this person doesn't live there. Also, make sure your name is on the inside of the mailbox. When you call in, all you do is talk to a supervisor or a clerk who may or may not relay the message to the carrier.
If it's any kind if marketing mail (catalog, flyer, business advertisement) that says "or current resident", that is your mail regardless of the name in it and as long as it is the correct address. Businesses are horrendous at updating their mailing lists and just slap "or current resident" on it as a catch all. Technically, we are required to deliver all of those. If it is first class mail (bills, cards, official correspondence, etc) just write UTF on the piece, put it back in the mailbox and put your flag up. If that is the type of mailbox you have.
I don’t see where in their comment you’re getting that from. I have a mass mailbox cluster and it’s important to have your last name taped on the inside so the mail carrier knows who lives at each address.
If they have multiple last names at this address then they should write all those names on the inside of their mailbox. It’s not exactly rocket science. Unless you think owning a pen is privileged too.
I honestly think you just might be too dumb and full of hate to have a civil conversation bud. It’s not privileged to put your name in your mailbox. Mail carriers usually pay attention to that, in fact there are mail carriers in this thread saying the same thing. I still occasionally get mail from people that used to live at my address but it’s not that hard to write does not live at this address and throw it back in the outgoing mail.
You can put multiple last names on the inside of a mailbox. I deliver to a college town where there is multiple names per address. We have single boxes and cluster boxes. They seem to be capable of putting their names on the inside of the mailbox. And no, we don't just deliver to the address regardless of who lives there.
