Incorrect Postcode

Post by paul324234 »

HI,
My friend has just sent me a parcel, too big to go through a letterbox and has a tracking number.
Problem is when i sent him my postcode the auto correct on my phone put my old postcode in and that actual address where it's heading to does not exsist because it's my new house number but my old postcode..

i have a copy of the recipt, is there anything i can do to correct this mistake?
Thanks.

If it has your correct house number and Street name, it should eventually get to you, even if the postcode is wrong.

Is the first half of the postcode correct?
