Does a mistake in a postcode effect redirections?

Post by jmm12 »

I am wanting to set up a redirection but the postcode I used on my mail ended in 3PG however, the postcode given for the same address on the royal mail website ends in 3PQ. I received all my mail perfectly fine but I am wondering if this effect the redirection.

Generally far better to not use a postcode if you are not absolutely sure it is the correct one for your address. Automated sorting machinery only looks at the postcode if you have the address & postcode on the item of mail.
