Wrong address on receipt

Post by Sawq »

Hi all. I just dropped off a couple of parcels at the post office and they both looked similar but have different addresses. I just checked my receipts to upload the tracking for ebay and noticed that while they both have separate barcodes on the receipt they both have the same address printed.

I've checked my parcel photos and I definitely wrote the correct address on each parcel. They are both being delivered by parcel force as was quite big.

My question is will Parcel Force deliver the parcels to the addresses I've written down on the parcels or will they go off what has been written on my receipt and presumably their computer? Post Office is shut now so I'm left worrying about it.

Thanks for any advice.

Just to confirm, are you saying that Parcel Force will go off the address on the parcels?

Yes they can't access the receipt so incorrect information on there has no effect on the delivery process.
