I’m sure it will be fine, but I’m just having a bit of a panic and want some reassurance

Some important documents have been sent to me, I gave my partners work address to send them to as there’s always someone there. I have just realised though that I put our home post code. Must have just been force of habit.

The first parts of the postcode are the same BN1 so it will have made it to Brighton. I’ve asked for the tracking reference but only realised outside of office hours so won’t get any confirmation until tomorrow.

As the first part is the same will it still get delivered?

The postcode will get it to Brighton, a real live human postie will pick up on the actual address and see it goes to the correct delivery office but it may delay it by a day.

As both postcodes are BN1 it may delay it by 1 day, but if the posties are on the ball and the rest of the address is correct I doubt it will delay it even that long.
