Nikv Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I just shipped off an item that I sold on ebay..but I spelled the suburb address wrong on the box by one letter. (I wrote Ashury instead of Ashbury) It was a 1 letter mistake, and I included the post code, street address + number etc. Do you reckon it will still get to its destination or will they send it back to me?

Rudy Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I know in canada you could make a lot of mistakes and it will still get there as long as: postal code is ok and house number is ok Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/847632-oops/#findComment-591873438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
acnpt Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 As long as the post code and house number is correct it should get there no problem. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/847632-oops/#findComment-591873442 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would contact the buyer and let them know of the mistake in case something happens.

ozgeek Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 (I wrote Ashury instead of Ashbury) I made a similar mistake. I posted to a suburb in Melbourne. I realised I made a spelling mistake AFTER I posted it. The buyer left me good feedback indicating that he got the item. I think they look at the Postcode and then the receiver's name to work out what the "real" town/suburb is.

acnpt Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Off-topic but, here in the UK the post code system is really good. Take NP20 4NG NP refers to a town/City 20 refers to an area in the town/city 4NG - refers to a street in that area. The last part can also be assigned to large buildings.
