I've sent an item via Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded, I've attached the receiver and return address, the receiver address is very clear to read, the postcode is IP21 4ET on the package but when I look back on the receipt it says IP11 4ET, will the package arrive to the correct address?

It might be a little bit late if it goes to IP11 instead of IP21 but it shouldn't matter in the long run, it should get there.

According to Postcodes IP11 4ET does not exist so as long as the address on the packet is clear there should be no delay.

The receipt has no bearing on the delivery either so I think everything should fine.

Given the amount of items posted without a postcode (or even the correct address... sometimes no address!) and still make it, I'm sure it'll be fine!
