Can you help me translate this postal term? - Germany

Hi all,

Hope someone can help me translate:

"Empfanger/Firma Unter Der Angegebenen Anschrift richt zu ermitteln"

I tried my dictionary and a couple of online translators and I get"Receiver / firm at the specified address report to identify"
which makes no sense obviously. A little help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks;-)

The recipient / company at the given address cannot be located.

OR

The recipient / company cannot be located at the given address.

It means Dave's not here, man.
Return to sender

"Empfanger/Firma Unter Der Angegebenen Anschrift nicht zu ermitteln"

And as the others said, recipient/company not known at the specified address - you've got the wrong Name or Address or in some cases the postie can't find it/be bothered to look for it.

Apparently one of the packages sent to me was returned with that written on a sticky label.
Strange because my address was written correctly- and the other package was indeed delivered
to me.

Does your address have a 1 in it? And the sender didn't make it look like an upside-down "V"? Or was the address label in cursive? Sometimes the delivery guys get lazy/spiteful if people don't cross their i's and overextend their 1's...

So if someone from home is sending a package I need to tell them to make a German 1?! Lord, there must be lots of parcels sent from abroad-
I can't imagine they wouldn't recognize a 1. Guess I better tell everyone to print off the labels for Christmas pressies then:-)

Or at least block print. My mom sent my son a Halloween card from the States on October 23rd, with the address in cursive. It got here November 4th...

Thanks all:-) Only wish my Mom hadn't spent 40 dollars trying to sent it over:-(

Deutsche Post love sending items back undelivered. They make no effort attempting to deliver incorrectly-addressed mail, no matter how small the error.

7s can be problematic too because without the horizontal line through the center they tend to look like 1s to Germans.

Don't write the return address on the package, in that case they put more effort into locating you. If there is a return address and there is doubt about the address they just return it so you can fix the error. Makes a some sense I guess but certainly annoying if you paid 60$ to have it sent over. Obviously without a return address there is also the chance it getting lost altogether though .

That works for letters but, in my experience at least, the post office won't accept packages without a return address.
