Postal Letter

If I share a duplex home, is there a way I can specify to the mailman where to deliver packages?

I live on the second floor of a duplex home, but it's a completely separate unit, separate lease and everything, with a locked hallway door in between and different entrances. My downstairs neighbors and I keep out of each other's way for the most part. Is there a way I can specify to the mailman to deliver packages to the "upstairs unit"? Who do I talk to? Do I specify when writing down shipping addresses?

1. Call the local post office that delivers your mail.
2. A duplex house should have separate addresses for the two units. 123 Main St. #1 and 123 Main St #2 or 123 Main St Apt A and 123 Main St Apt B would be examples. The post office should deliver the mail to the correct mailbox. If you don't have a separate address you should talk to your landlord about making separate designations for the two duplexes.
