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.
