Letter missing house address

Post by RedheadedRed »

I sent a letter in 1st class postage but forgot to add the house address. I wrote the rest of the address, town, country, province, postcode. Is there anything can I do to make sure it’s delivered?

The postcode will get it to the street.
After that without a number you're hoping the postman recognises the name.

Sorry there is nothing you can as there is no way of tracking 1st class through the system, and with 40,000,000 items per day its a big haystack.

However, if the street is fairly small, on one round and has the regular postie working on the day that it arrives then the chances that they will reconise which address its going to will increase.

Hopefully it will arrive okay.
