Unless there is a similar address in the G12 postcode area, given what you have posted here it should eventually get to the correct address, but there will be a delay.

You can't arrange redelivery until delivery has been attempted, and a return to the sender can't be done unless the address does not exist or it is refused when delivery is attempted.

To be honest, if the postcode is the only thing wrong, and the rest of the address is clear then it should still be delivered, although if you included the district in the address this will increase the chance of it being delivered to the right address.

Without a tracking number to see and interpret the scans, it's difficult to say. But it's possible its being returned to the sender already.

You did that this is an “international parcel”, do you mean that you bought it from a website based outside of the United Kingdom?

Atherstone site appears to be where the Chinese International parcels are sent for sorting after entering the UK.

I would have thought that anything starting with (G) postcode would be sent to Glasgow, but the tracking code suggests its come back from Glasgow on this occasion.

My guess is that when it got missorted to the G11-12 office the first time, they didn't cross out the wrong postcode. I don't know if Glasgow MC has got a packet sorting machine but if they have, the machine might be misreading the postcode printed on the item
