Get Marty: UPS Delivers Mail To Wrong Address For 30 Years

BELLEVUE (KDKA) -- A "flashback" Get Marty tonight.

A woman from Avalon has had her UPS packages delivered to the exact same wrong address in Bellevue for 30 years.

"It's just crazy," says Linda Malsch.

Malsch says she's called UPS more than 200 times over the years. She also says she took the same problem to KDKA-TV icon Wayne Van Dyne 30 years ago.

"Can you believe it? I took it to Wayne back then. Back then it wasn't a UPS problem. It was a postal service problem. Gotta tell you. Wayne got it fixed," says Linda.

She is a cancer patient, and has explained to UPS that she has medicine delivered that must be refrigerated.

Marty reached out to the corporate offices at UPS. Within a few days they tracked down the problem to a labeling issue and fixed it.

Here's the deal: Linda Malsch lives at 734 Orchard Avenue in Avalon, 150202. George Malsch, her ex-brother-in-law, lives at 734 Orchard Avenue in Bellevue, 15202.

UPS also called Linda and apologized. UPS also gave her a gift card.

Meantime, Linda will be watching the mail.

"I'm so thankful for the help. I hope this doesn't happen again," says Linda.

We are too.
