Not actually my real address....

I'm kinda assuming that you are not recommending that we use this postal address :)

I’m sure the postman suspected who it was for but inclusion of Ralf probably made him certain.

No way... Really? U a big star. I think my next door neighbor would throw away something that was intended for me if he wasn't in handoff distance

Looks Good To Me.

I bet that "BigClivedotCom, Isle of Man" would get to you to!

Brits of a certain age will remember a BBC ''consumer" show called 'That's Life' and its main presenter Esther Rantzen. Letters addressed to the show with nothing but a caricature of Ms Rantzen or amusingly shaped vegetable were successfully delivered and featured.

I lived in a small town when I was a kid and was a avid shortwave radio and ham radio operator and may times only my call sign and town was written on letter. And I still received them.

In this case the credit goes to Isle of Man Post.

Big Clive

Great! Really! I swear: here in Germany you get your parcels back when you only mistyped the house number by one! "Destination not available". Sad.

Jörg Schötz

A small point, but the credit for this should rightly go to Royal Mail and their intelligent posties, not Post Offices. Even Parcel Force, perhaps for the bigger stuff which is separate also.

That's so funny Clive. At this early hour I tried to click on a video link. Oh well. My friends address is literally the house name and village and postcode.

Nuts 'n' Proud

Another funny from 1984 - Gran, King st, Whalley, UK sent from a ski resort in France. Postmen know a lot ; my postman knows many details about who lives on my street from just casual conversation when on his rounds. They occasionally give me packets that look like EBAY Chinese plastic packaging were the label is damaged to see if I can figure out who it is for. I have to say overt the past 7 years I have ordered 100s of items large and small and very little has failed to arrive and only a couple I have not bothered to chase. John

John Harrison

Ha! Kept clicking and waiting for video to start while cursing my local provider!

Eric Korenman

Altho I didnt realize you had such a cool last name!

😂 I used to work at my local post office in the Adelaide Hills. Any time anyone wanted anything that wouldn’t ship to a PO Box they’d just use their name and the post office’s address. To be fair, all we needed was their surname and the postcode. We knew everyone :)

No surprise that it got delivered, everyone knows BigClive.

That could be true. My postman joked that I kept them in business. (Which is not true for the Chinese imports, but definitely helped by the amount of technical modules I ship internationally.)

Big Clive

My local post office knows me by face and name - not because I live in a small town but because I order so much stuff from eBay and the other usual places. It wouldn't surprise me that Clive is the same, and so long as the parcel gets to his post office, all it would need is his name.

Berkeloid

In Clive's case, that would be an electric arc 10 meters long.

Howard Simons

This should be true in the UK, too :) At least, that's how the post code system was designed; I wouldn't be too surprised if there were a few places where that didn't work for one reason or another...

Andrew

Awesome job IOM postal service!

MarcT

That's cool, it's impressive what they can figure out sometimes! Reminds me of my grandparents whose address was for 50 years: Sous le Mont Echenevex Literally "Under the mountain" and the name of the nearby town. They finally got a real street address in the early 2000's I think...

Thor Syvertsen

We often knock the Post Office but the people on the ground can work miracles. I remember someone sending a letter to Swap Shop with just a picture of Noel Edmonds on it, and it arrived!

Impressive

Did my dildo's get shipped to the wrong place again? Dang it! :D I mean honestly though, where else is there a Big Clive than the Isle of Man and I hear he blasts fire out his ass ten meters long! (Braveheart reference) lmao

BergRD

I thought so too, not true! I was staying a few houses down and they did not know who he was, I was shocked! The other thing that is kinda funny is the Inn I was staying in had a few cats that roam around the property and they said they were kinda standoffish. I didn’t realize until after I met Big Clive that they were some of the cats in previous Big Clive videos. So, I met the cats of Big Clive before I met the Man! 😆 Fun times.

Lostngone

I thought my day was made until I read this!! Thank-you

I think we should all mail a letter to Clive addressed vaguely. The most vague one that arrives, wins a shout-out from Clive. :-)

Howard Simons

It's just that "Big Clive" magic is all!

Michael Thompson

That is awesome! Now you'll be getting a lot from us 😆

I once received a Letter that was adressed to And.... S.... Over "Name of a chain of stores" Cityname And it arrived. Despite there being several of those stores in my city which is around the 200k mark

Andreas

Well, I guess this means you're a celebrity, then. It's quaint, really, harkening back to a time when addresses were akin to "3rd house on the left of main street as you head south from the post office".

Here in Ireland (Co. Donegal), the An Post are very good at finding the right house. I've yet to have an eBay delivery not turn up even where the seller left out my street name or town on the label. Ireland recently got postal code system (Eircode system) where every house and business has a unique code.

Seán Byrne

This is how you know you've made it to the big time. Or that Ralfy has, I'm not sure which.

Eddy Gurge

Oh wow this is just wonderful :0 i never thought that anything like that could ever be delivered

Leon Schutte

ROTFLMAO!

Rocco Rizzo

Naw, even correctly addressed mail doesn't make it here!!!

The Tinkering Shed

Hahahaha!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That’s Fucking Amazing!!! I’m shocked that they were actually able to fully deliver a letter that’s been addressed as literally “Mr. Clive Mitchell, Somewhere on the Isle of Mann, bigclivedotcom, Brother of Ralfy, IM12BX”, but I guess the postal code & your name plus your brother’s name & your website/YouTube Channel names made the postman’s job a hell of a lot easier!!!!! Still Awesome 😎!!!!!! Now I’m 100% going to be mailing you a couple of these 18650’s that the positive end pops off and you can then use the hidden USB male plug to charge them, I’m totally copying the address of this package too!!!!! ;)

Zane Revai

In the netherland postal code and house number is sufficient 1234 AB 987

Pieter Gosselink

Not just small places. Several years ago a letter got to us in a big place with walking directions from a local well known landmark...

Charleso

What amuses me about that charmingly imprecise address is that the Royal Mail in Britain has stamped it with a postmark that says "Please remember to write the postcode clearly"!

Stephen King

Washing machine door lock.

Stephen King

Ah the benefit of living in a small place.

Kinda similar to this lol https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/donegal-postman-delivers-letter-to-your-man-with-the-glasses-1.2289890

John Carr

In the US that package would end up at the dead letter office . . eventually . . . and once a postal inspector got around to it, you might get your parcel, many months later, with a nice little postage due notice of several dollars for their troubles

BiggieJohn

LOL... too funny. Now would that work if addressed to Scotland? :-)

Howard Simons

I once sent myself a letter from Switzerland to "Graham GB-CORRECT POSTCODE" - Took 2 days - sorry posties - clever posties!

Reminds me of when my dad had a shipping container of belongings sent to him in Norway. All the paperwork said was "Phil Halfpenny, Harstad, Norway" and it found it's way to him.

Matthew Halfpenny

That'll open the door for thousands of fans worldwide (!!) who were wondering about sending stuff to you for tear downs! Better start looking for a bigger house!! :-D

Stephen Eyles

What's in the letter! 😁

Littlecheese901

Hahaha, That's what happened when you live in "small" places. I live and work in Limerick (Ireland) and I always order my stuff to be delivered to my work place. A year ago we moved to another office near by and the post man, even having the new address on my parcels, keept delivering them to the old place for a couple of months.

elias

The price of fame :)

Boris von Shithousen

Hehehehe, brilliant, and now you know how to get your eBay deliveries to arrive un molested.

Excellent customer service. Over here (Finland) the postal system tends to lose your letters and parcels with such effiency that you probably could hide a body permanently by mailing it to yourself.

Well you are a local celebrity, everyone on the island must know who Big Clive is 😁

Peter Coombe

Lol. More famous than you think.

Neil Tonks

Back when my mum was a kid in Stockholm, she once received a letter addressed (in Swedish, though) to “Lena, above the cinema, Södermalm”...
