Right Address, Wrong Postcode

Post by smellis4264 »

Hey all

I recently made some ebay purchases. I've only realised after they have shipped that they have my work address on but my home post code!

I feel like a big dummy.

How likely are these packages to end up at work anyway?

I work in Watford but live in NW9

the machines will route them to the postcode on the parcel. But once they get to a human they should either redirect them to the correct office or return them to the sender.

What happens will depend on the rest of the addresses. In that, if you included the full postal address (including district name) there is a better chance it will get to you. But not 100% guaranteed, and it WILL be delayed as well.

Heres hoping.
