Pehrhaps someone with expert knowlege (someone from DHL on this Forum...) might explain this error. Perhaps the address was illegible?

All I can say is that if they had used a professional logistics firm then perhaps their cargo would have reached the right destination.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

Interestingly, logistics companies have been known to be given cargos of contraband, only for these to be delivered by police dressed as delivery men. That would also count as a mistake by the criminals!

Yes, but that feels like a less stupid mistake.
