What are chances of this parcel arriving?

I ordered presents off Beauty Bay for step dd's. When I received the confirmation email I noticed the automatic address finder hadn't worked properly and the address is down as 7 Anytown ab1 2cd. Rather than 7 Smith St, Anytown, ab1 2cd.

I tried to live chat. The bot asked if I needed medical assistance 🙄 I tried to cancel and reorder but they said they can't guarantee cancellation and I might end up with 2 orders which I can't afford. And I have sent an email asking customer services to change the address but apparently its taking up to 10 days for them to reply which will be too late.

The parcel is tracked and dp thinks having the post code and the house number should be enough. Is this right do you think?

I think it'll be fine.

It should be ok if the postcode is correct

I think each postcode covers one street doesn't it? So if you're the only number 7 it should be okay - hopefully the post service sorts it correctly!

Cheeseandlobster · 06/12/2022 09:17

The postcode is correct and relates to about 50 addresses on the same street all with different numbers.

I’d be surprised if it didn’t reach you. I’ve made typos in my address line before but my postcode and house number has meant it turned up fine.

Have you had any tracking for the parcel? If it's Evri/DPD on the app you can add your what3words location which might help, also on DPD you can put a photo of your front door and leave delivery instructions and reroute to a pick up shop instead.

I have a tracking number but unsure which company yet. That's useful to know about dpd / evri 🙂

I managed to put my postcode but my moms address once (on different sides of the city)
Royal Mail pulled through and it somehow made it to me! It took a while but I got it!
