Right address wrong postcode

Post by Eddfriz »

I recently placed an order online and foolishly didn't check the auto fill on my address. Once the order was placed I noticed it had the correct address but had used a old postcode. My new address is in Newcastle but the postcode is Sheffield.
It was sent tracked and I've had an email saying it should be delivered tomorrow but am worried as to where it'll be going. Do you think it will be deliver to the address or returned to the sender?

it will probably delay it by a day or so. The automatic machines will sort it to the postcode, but when it gets there the posties doing the manual work will notice Newcastle in the address and forward it on.
