royal mail standard parcel delivery, incorrect post code

Post by mac456 »

Hi,

Has anyone experienced this? I am meant to be receiving a package but the sender has used an incorrect post code (the post code is to another city). it should be CV3 but he used CH3 instead) the other part of the address is correct.

Do you think it will arrive? Its already been a week today.

Whats likely to happen and who should I contact? I have tryed my local depot and they said wait a couple of weeks. what do you guys recon?

Thanks

There will be a delay in it, cause postcode is what we go on. But hopefully you get it.

Chester to Coventry is only a hundred miles so it shouldn't be delayed too long.

Youll get it eventually I think unless there is a match to the 2nd half of the post code and address - unlikely though.

Here in HD we routineley get parcels and letters with HD postcodes that should be HG or HP :crazy:
