Pre-ordered a game to wrong address, but correct postcode

Post by jasont1000 »

Hi I have pre-ordered a game (skyrim) accidently to a wrong street address, basically, my house number is correct but my streetname has a spelling mistake, but the postcode, city, county etc, is correct. I bought it off shopto.net and its being processed, so i cant change it. So will i get it in time by release (friday). Thanks

If release date is Friday then get hold of them and tell them to change it. It wont have been posted yet.

Edit: So long as the street name is somethng similar then it should arrive. We're used to people who can't spell their own addresses.

As long as the postcode is correct I'm fairly sure your postie can work out your street name from the slight difference on the label! :wink:

I am pretty certain that wouldn't delay delivery even slightly - at a quick glance they probably wouldn't even notice anything was wrong :Very Happy We've had our address misspelt in many ways and it's never delayed delivery.

I would remove your address If I was you.
I doubt it will make any difference as your item with go to your local DO by postcode

Postcode's the main thing, all it needs (technically) is a number and the post code and it should get to the right place.
