Question regarding barrage of Chilean Requests
If you happen to drop by the requests list, we have had a recent influx from Chile. It appears that many of them have very short addresses. I have no idea if these addresses would work. I would expect to see the name of a city perhaps. Am I expecting too much? I don't want to waste a bunch of time, supplies, and money, but I don't want to disappoint a big group of interested people. I have a similar situation for a Colombian address as well. Both Chile and Colombia have postal web sites, but they are in Spanish and my ability to operate in that language is quite limited. Please let me know what you think. Thank you.
I had noticed that. Most probably the first person told others, who told others, etc. So that is the telephone directory, from the phone company in those couuntries? What is it, if you could post the URL, I would appreciate it. The one from the phone company of India is: http://www.bsnl.co.in/onlinedirectory.htm, which then leads to the state by state directories, i.e. for kerela is http://www.kerelatelecom.com, etc. But as a tool for mailing, I have never done so. -- Have a blessed day!

You are correct that most of those addresses are inadequate. You need, at the least a street name and house number, as well as a city. For example: Claudio Munoz 403-0158 Chile Obviously, this won't get very far. If you need anything translated, let me know. I lived in Guatemala for a year.

Thanks for the info. John, what I think we should do in this case is delete those requests with invalid addresses, and send them all an e-mail, requesting that they return to the web site and supply a complete address. Thoughts? Sincerely Aaron Cannon At 10:10 PM 6/26/2005, you wrote:

What I had planned to do is this: When the Chilean requests with insufficient information get to the top of the list, check them out, send an e-mail message that indicates what information is missing, invite them to respond directly to me with the missing information, and mark the request not completable. If and when they respond with the missing information, I would check out the request, update the request with the provided data, and send the requested materials. Aaron, because you are conversant in Spanish (and I most definitely am not), if you want to take time to clean up the list before we get down to those incomplete requests, please do not hesitate to do so. How does this sound to you?

That will work. I'll see what I can do about cleaning some of those up. Thanks. Sincerely Aaron Cannon At 08:30 AM 6/27/2005, you wrote:
