Got the LoCo Team CDs, but without the contact name :(

Hi all,

As the contact of the Swiss LoCo Team I received the 9.10 CDs this
morning, but more by sheer luck and because I live in a small village
where people know each other. Hadn't the post employee remembered that
I receive such packs regularly, the whole parcel would have been sent
back, since there was no name on it.

It only states:

LOC. SWITZERLAND
followed by the street and town address.

Not a clue what is in the pack, or where they come form (no company,
just a town address for TNT/Swiss Post distribution center, no
indication of Ubuntu or Canonical or Ship-it, whatever).

Since we are requested to give the exact name of the contact,
including phone numbers etc., why is my name not on the parcel? There
are 12 different apartments at that address, with roughly 40+ people
living here, don't expect the postal services/delivery company to
guess, especially not in bigger towns, I am sure they will not bother
but simply send it back.
I fear the worst for other countries maybe never getting their
packs... Also a sender indication would be a good idea, we have so
many stickers to hand out, with 74 official LoCo teams this is only 74
stickers to put on a parcel. And having a precise address on a parcel
is certainly not too difficult, I mean nearly every computer user
knows how to make a spreadsheet for printing labels, this is 101 even
for a Windows user, so from a software distributor I would expect this
to be handled correctly at least.

Sorry if that comes over like a rant, but that is a serious bug in delivery.


Regards, Myriam
