Right Address - Wrong Postcode

Post by ericagrace87 »

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help, I ordered something from America that was posted via USPS, I put my correct address (I've just moved to Sale, Cheshire) but accidentally put my old postcode. My new postcode should start M33 my old one SK12 so very different! Is there any chance it will still get to me?

Last tracking info I can see on USPS was on 16th Nov when I'm presuming it left the US.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards,

Erica

If the rest of the address is correct it should just be delayed by a day or two.

I'm assuming it's got Sale/whatever on it instead of Poynton/whatever on it so the SK12 shouldn't matter too much tbh. Usually they'll cross out the postcode and put "try Sale" for example.
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

Oh thanks for your help. Yes address all correct apart from the postcode so fingers crossed it should work.
