Sending parcel internationally and am 100% sure i addressed it correctly. However on the certificate of posting the building name is missing letters at the end and the postcode is missing 2 digits. Will my package still make it or is it doomed?

The certificate of posting is just proof that you sent it, it has no effect on the operational or delivery aspect. If addressed properly it will get there.

When I left the Post Office 2 years ago, their computers could not and never had been able to validate international addresses except for some basic functionality for certain combinations of country and Parcelforce service. So it was always likely to have an N there. The PO really should remove this from the CoPs as it confuses customers.
The CoPs also cannot display as much information as the clerk types in, so it often does shorten the info for both fields. As TBT says it does not affect the delivery of the parcel in any way, but if it's really skimpy it could affect your ability to claim for loss or damage. If you think the clerk hasn't typed the information in then complain to Post Office customer services on 03457 22 33 44.
