Concerned about a Mail problem

So a friend of mine sent out two petri dishes containing cultures, each labeled in such a way that some light googling would probably lead you to the species contained within. They mailed them from a USPS post office in a padded envelope with additional bubble wrap inside and used their actual address as a return address. The envelope made it to its intended city but while out for delivery the status changed to "Insufficient Address." Now the recipient uses Informed Delivery so he was able to see that the package was coming and informed my friend of its status. If the recipient was able to access this information it seems to me that there was probably sufficient information on the envelope to make a delivery. Instead, it is now being returned to the sender. The recipient believes the written address became smudged or otherwise difficult to decipher possibly but my friend is, understandably I think, concerned. He says he checked several times that the address was written correctly and since the recipient was able to track it through Informed Delivery it probably was.
What do you guys think? Should my friend clean house?

Probably didn't need to post anonymously either Although they COULD be in cahoots with the DEA and homeland security to tie the envelope you sent containing an illegal culture of something you and your friend will probably both fail at growing anyway to an account you started on the shroomery... chances are pretty unlikely.
I'm just messin' with ya bud, but if you're gonna be this paranoid why the hell did you use your real return address and correctly label your illegal cultures?!? 
Relax your fine, dude just fucking dropped it in the ditch then ran over it with his mail van so he couldn't read the address anymore lol

Lol fair enough. In retrospect, I was being silly. I've kind of grown complacent with this sort of thing so when a bump in the road came up I was spooked. I used to label prints and cultures "pioppino" or "pink oyster" but over time it seemed unnecessary. The anonymity was just so all of my cool, hardened criminal Shroomery friends don't finally realize I'm a little pussé boi. I'd hate to get kicked out of the gang.
Thanks for the legal aid/ball busting. Now watch me actually get van'd.

Small potatoes.
We are all on a raft in the sea and paddling will only burn precious calories. Just enjoy the view and pay attention to the stars and possible things that float by that you can use for collecting water or making shade or both.
Generally if something goes amiss somebody gets just a letter from the postman saying "we are suspicious of this weird shit and plan to destroy it if you don't come get it". Seen a few.
