a grand what?

Post by pilvikki »

I ordered stuff from groupon.fr and today got conformation that things had been shipped. the page had been google-"translated" so I got this for my address:
12 THE BIG ROUND
PROUILLE LASSERRE DE, 11270
instead of
12 grand rond
lasserre de prouille. 11270

:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

now I have to go check that the address was not "translated" before shipping...

I don't think it'll matter Vikks. Grand Rond ... large/big round ... I'm sure that whatever'll get there, even if the translation's to English.

I checked the original email and it has the correct address, which is just as well, for this is a very wee village nobody's heard of... and postal codes? we share it with other villages...

So ... were the goods delivered to the correct address?
