1st Class recorded mail : forgot to put door number

Post by erfanchy »

Guys i send a parcel by 1st CLASS recorded yesterday but when i came home i realised that i didn't put the door number

I check the postcode online and i can see that postcode belong to one Building only i believe it's because there no other houses on that street
Anyway it showing FLAT 1 - 8 . So that postcode belong to 1 to 8 FLAT on that building only. So the postman will know which building it is easily but because' i forgot to write door number he/she will never know which number to deliver on that building

Do you think it will be delivered or is there anything i can do . Road name / Post code / Name of the person all OK

Keep your fingers crossed that there is a regular postie on that round who knows his customers names, otherwise it may well be returned to you. A lot is made by the press of the number of items that are "not delivered on time or at all", but I can vouch for the fact that postal delivery staff save many more from that fate because of local knowledge. You can track the recorded number on RM's website which will tell you when it has been delivered.

The next update would be the scan at the doorstep for a recorded delivery item.

With no house number it may take an extra couple of days for delivery to correctly identify address (matching name)

Failing that the item should have a 'return to sender' scan before being returned to you.
