Things developers believe about shipping addresses:

- Addresses worldwide look like yours.
- Addresses have any kind of standard format whatsoever.

I have been eagerly waiting for a parcel for weeks. Now I found out it had been returned to the sender in Europe, because half of the address lines didn't make it into the shipping order.

My address looks like this

Flat N, XX/F, Tower YY, Some Residential Complex
Z Some Street, A District
Hong Kong

The address the shipping company captured was:

Flat N
Z Some Street
A District
Hong Kong

That matches two residential complexes , a shopping mall, a management office and a bunch of street-level shops, of which one residential complex has 600 flats N, the other, I don't know, maybe 100 flats N.

The seller kindly shipped it again and this time I noticed the fragmentary address in the mail from the shipping company. I hope it can be updated so that I'll get my precious goods.

I was wondering why it was taking weeks when it was supposedly by air.

Also, tracking just said "left country of origin" for three weeks, nothing more.
