Try getting them to deliver to a person using some other location than an address, such as "wherever he happens to be". It can't be their purpose to do something they're not able to do.

If I have something mailed to me at my office, are you claiming the post office hasn't made a mistake when they deliver it to my home?

So, like, General Delivery?

There's a question of principal/agent there, so maybe, maybe not.

OTOH, I'll maintain that the post office is not making a mistake when it keeps delivering my mail from my employer to me at my actual address, even though they keep sending it to an address which resembles mine only in that the street name and zip code are the same, and two of the four numbers in the street address they use also appear (in different positions) in my actual address.

Which I suppose I should go talk to HR about again.

General Delivery is meant for the use of people who don't have an address (or as a substitute for a PO Box), and has to be arranged by the recipient, and the recipient may only receive General Delivery at a single location. So no, not like General Delivery -- General Delivery is an address, the address of the post office offering it, which is where the person receives their mail.
