Wrong postcode

Post by Sando »

Hi, I have recently moved house, when updating my details on an online auction site, I changed the address but not my postcode, I have recently ordered a couple of items which have so far failed to arrive.
I have been back to my old address, nothing there, I have also been to the house number I have now, but on my previous street, they haven't received the packages.
The new postcode is S73, the previous S6, so same postcode area.l

I hope that makes sense.

Will I receive the packages?

Unfortunately, the 2 offices delivering to those postcodes are separate ones, and there are at least 3 other postcodes between them.

Now if you have put the district or Town (S73 is Barnsley) as well as the Post Code that will increase the chances, but if not I think the chances are fairly slim because of the distance between the 2 postcodes. Also although you might still get it, the wrong postcode will delay it, probably till after Christmas now.

Thank you for the response, I'd better get out and buy the missus something else.
