After moving to a newly-finished building, I realized most companies didn't have up-to-date databases and some forms prevented me from correcting the "mis-corrected" addresses. Missed a few deliveries during the first few months/years.

On the other hand, having lived in a country where such databases were notoriously unreliable, such automated processing didn't exist, so I didn't encounter that problem.

Sometimes, having something work "way too well" can lead people to believe it's perfect, and enforce it too strictly.
