Husband and I signed a document that needed to go to local estate agents office. Not massively urgent, a formality really. He put it in an envelope with a stamp on and left it on the counter for a couple of days. I saw it there but didn’t notice what the envelope had written on it.
I was going to high street so thought I’d post it. The estate agent office is literally metres away from the postbox but as the envelope already had a stamp on I thought I would just post it.
today we got an email that they haven’t received the document yet, he knew I had gone to the high street and had taken letter so asked what had happened. I said I posted it and they’ll get it soon. He told me that he had just written the name
of the agent and the company on the envelope rather than writing the full address as he was going to post it straight in their letter box on the door or else take it in person when they were open. The envelope had a stamp on because it was recycled - it was the only a4 size envelope he could find in the house which had been sent to him originally so he wrote the new name on a piece of paper and taped that over his name/our address.
so now we have to ask for the document again to sign and post or drop in again. He thinks It’s my mistake as I should have looked and realised there was no proper address on before posting, and just posted it through the door. I think I was trying to be helpful and the fact it had a stamp on means it looks like it’s ready to post.
