1pm special delivery went to wrong mail centre

Just checked the tracking for my 1pm special that was sent yesterday.
It arrived at the wrong MC (not to far from the correct one)
Last scan was at 5am

What are the chances of receiving it today?

Without any further details, it's difficult to say. But the chances are probably around 50/50.

You may get it if the "wrong" MC is actually the inward one, if so it will be sent on to "outward" and then onto the delivery office.

If it has been routed incorrectly then there is still a chance that you will get it, but it will likely be late. However you should get it tomorrow at the worst case if they correctly send it on, and the sender can claim postage back if it doesn't arrive today.

Keep an eye out for the "Ready for delivery" update which means it will be going out on the same day as the scan.

What's the tracking number and what's the first half of the postcode where it's going. There's generally fairly large geographical distances between MCs. It makes me think that instead of going to the wrong Inward MC, that it's gone to the wrong DO
