If any of you have a driving need to mail something to us, our address for the foreseeable future is:
9750 Monterey Rd
Coyote Valley RV Resort
Morgan Hill, CA 95037
Don’t make the same mistake I did, which was use Google to get the ZIP from the address given on the park’s web site: 9750 Monterey Rd, SAN JOSE. Google understands that address and even shows a nice street-level photo of the park. But the ZIP it gives is 95103. I used that ZIP on two critical mailings: our Escapees mail forwarding and our 1-800-PET-MEDS order for Cha-Cha’s pain medicine. Despite the fact that Google understands the address and that our Garmin GPS has no trouble finding the park when that address is provided, the US Post Office and UPS both seem to be convinced that the address does not exist. Our pet medication order got returned to the UPS sorting facility. UPS was kind enough to call me and I explained exactly where the RV park was. They promised to retry. But they didn’t. The package was returned to Florida.
By this time I had realized that some kind of confusion existed (though I had already received three or four shipments from other vendors, with no problem). I corrected the address both for the mail forwarding and the pet medication. The solicitous person at 1-800-PET-MEDS promised on Tuesday to ship the medication overnight via FedEx, gratis. Long story short: it arrived on Saturday. I was relieved to get the box as Cha-Cha has been without his pain medication for nearly 2 weeks.
But when I opened the box it contained no medication – just the pill pockets that I had added to the order on a whim.
So we are now two weeks into our stay at Coyote and have received no forwarded mail and no pet medication.
If you sent us a Christmas card… thanks. But we probably won’t get it.
