Wrong postcode = lost parcel?

Post by leeloofan »

Hello,
A friend sent me a small parcel from France at the beginning of October. She put one wrong digit in the postcode. Is there a way for me to find out where the parcel is and maybe have it delivered?
Thank you.

Unless there is a tracking number no.

However, if the first part of the post code was wrong this might delay, but the 2nd half wouldn't.

This may sound strange but call Royal Mail and put a claim in, when you do give them a full description of the parcel, its contents and what the addresses should be and what is on the parcel. All of this will help them track it down and send it onward. It could be a long process though.
