Wrong Street Name

Post by MaxK777 »

Hey,

I have first class post due to arrive today. However, I made a mistake in the street name/first line of the address, so:

"1 Fake Lane"
When it should've been...
"1 Fake Road".

The postcode is correct - as is everything else on the address (eg house no, town, city etc). There aren't any other roads in my area with the name "Fake Lane".

What's the likelihood of issues receiving my post?

Thanks!

Pretty good, if you have a regular postie as high as 95% if they know you.
But if you don't have a regular, then with what you describe the chances are still very good that it will turn up, but it could be delayed while they try to confirm the address.
