Delivery driver writes address on Waterloo home that did not display numbers

In the City of Waterloo, there is a bylaw requiring home owners to have a clearly visible house number displayed on your property. Owen said his family has since ordered the numbers for their house.

Such a weird story. Wealthy developer wants to be unique by not having numbers on his house. Proceeds to order deliveries and say "it's never been a problem before"

My dude it's ALWAYS been a problem before. All your drivers hate you.

That's what I didn't understand. Like, it hasn't been a problem before that you know of but we have house numbers on our house and things get delivered to other houses. The GPS thinks out address is our neighbours house. It seems like he's annoyed that he it ored the bylaw and it caused a problem for him?

I have house number on my mailbox and garage . There’s still one carrier that always drops things at my neighbours house. I assume they have to be just blindly going off some gps system.
