What if I put the wrong city but the right zip code?
A wrong postal code will be signalled when you are about to hand off the package for delivery OR the post will not be delivered since the postal code does not exist. In case you entered the ‘wrong’ postal code, but it is still a valid address, it will be delivered to that address.
What happens if you mess up the zip code on a package?
Will the package still get delivered to the correct address? Writing the wrong ZIP Code with the right address usually causes the letter to be delivered about a day later than if the ZIPCode were correct. As long as the mailing address is correct, the letter will be delivered.
Will mail be delivered without zip code?
A letter without a ZIP code may not reach its intended destination. That is because of the way addresses are read by automated postal systems. Rules that are taken for granted when people send mail are actually unusually strict to increase post office efficiency. Processing machines read addresses from the bottom up.
Will Canada Post deliver with wrong postal code?
What happens to a letter or parcel that is addressed incorrectly? If a letter or parcel has an address on it, we are required to try to deliver the item to the address indicated. Changes or corrections can’t be made to the address, or the letter or package, once it has been mailed.
What happens if you type in the wrong shipping address?
USPS will make every effort to locate your item, redirect it, and deliver it to the correct address. Sometimes if you call your local post office before a shipment arrives, they can hold the packages with the incorrect address. This works well if you moved but are still local.
What to do if you ship a package to the wrong address?
When you receive a mistaken delivery, call customer service for the delivery company and explain the situation. Give them the tracking number on the package, as well as the name and address on the package if it’s different from yours. The company will come and pick up the product within a reasonable time frame.
