Wrong Postcode - Completely messed up!

Post by Jascol »

Hi all,

I recently ordered something off ebay and put my work address in Vauxhall (SE1 7TL) down. However, I left my home postcode (NW8 7AT) and it has been shipped.

Its quite important and I've read people only being delayed by a day or two if most of the postcode is right (i.e., first three letters/numbers). However, what happens if the whole thing is wrong? I had Vauxhall down as part of the address so would this get picked up quite quickly?

Is there anyone I can contact? Thanks

it may delay it a few days - but as long as you do have Vauxhaul on it I don't think it will mean it'll be sent back (although it is possible). Hopefully a London Based postie will confirm if they both go through the same Mail centre.
