Wrong postal code London

Post by electra22 »

Dear all,

I have a question regarding package from the Netherlands posted with a wrong postal code to London created by the Post NL office.
Is there a chance that the package arrives if the manually written address is correct? Is there a way to correct the postal code or redirect the letter?

Thank you!

Re package arrival: Depends on the mistake. What’s the full address and postcode as on the item?

Yes, the wrong postal code misses one number the first 4 digits are correct. It has 6 digits instead of 7.

Good news: it left to London delivery office and is out for delivery today. For the time being I stopped the investigation from the Dutch Post to see if it gets delivered properly.

Cheers,

If the first part is correct it has a very good chance of being delivered today.
