    I ordered a set of XS big dots for my Glock 26 from Amazon. Package came today it was marked 2A on the top with a red marker, my name and address was also circled with the red marker? Is this normal policy to mark things as gun related? I am assuming that's what the 2a marking is? Any postal workers want to weigh in

    Anyway I order a lot of things online and have never noticed any markings on other items

    2A could be someone's apartment number ?

    Seriously that is strange but maybe the box had that on it already when they used to pack your goods and ship it.
    I don't live in a apartment and I thought it was strange that my name and address were circled red?
    Oh no im on THE LIST!

    [Perhaps it could not be delivered on the first attempt. 2a= 2nd Attempt?]

    Sounds very reasonable although it was just in the mailbox and did not require signature?

    Do you have a neighborhood box like these?

    2A would be the right-hand box upper left corner. Our box is 2A.
