Hi i have today sent a large letter in a jiffy bag and realised i have put the postcode in as SW25 instead of SN25 the rest pf postcode is correct and the address is correct. What are the chances of it arriving at the correct address. Thank you for any help or advice.

Very good if you put the town/city on it. It may be delayed a few days as the machines will sort it to the postcode on the parcel, but eventually a human will recognize it ha's been misrouted and send it on to the right office.

Best to not use a postcode if you are not absolutely sure it is correct. The mail centres only look at the postcodes.
