Correct Street name - Wrong Postcode

[sc0tt]

I've been a bit of an bit of an idiot.

I seem to have ordered something, the house number, street name, city and county are all correct. Post code is incorrect.

What is likely to happen to what I have ordered? Arrive? Lost in the ether?


I'm in trouble with current Miss. sc0tt now, as they are\were wedding invitations.

It will end up at yours eventually.

Whilst the automatic mail sorters will initially send it to the postcode shown on the address, eventually, someone will have to pick it up to put it in a postbox and realise they are in the wrong town or whatever, and get it to you manually.

It'll probably get to you.

How's it being delivered, courier or post?

It has been 2 weeks now... How long would you guesstimate?

2 weeks since they were posted or 2 weeks since you ordered them?

I wouldn't have expected it to take 2 weeks from posting even with such an error.

2 weeks since they were posted. They are coming via Royal Mail.

Consider yourself lucky:
It would have been wrong to marry your sister anyway.

Give them a ring. Do you not have a tracking number?
Otherwise you could ring supplier and enquire as its probably been sent back.

Is there a street
With a similar name in the wrong post code area?

[TooMany2cvs]

How wrong is the postcode, anyway?

[SantaBarbara]

Some post codes can be very similar at first glance?

For example L and LL

I have not no because there is 26 addresses associated with that Postcode.

And I would know because it is my mums postcode

Without giving away postcodes ... Initial letters changed but the same.

One is AA12 6ED
T'other is AA15 5FA

get your mum to ask her postie.

In my experience the final delivery postal employee does not actually look at the post code.

They use guess work to deliver the mail it appears to me.

Your mum doesn't want the wedding to go ahead. She's binned them. Sorry.
