Here's an interesting - and very stupid one.... EPIC FAIL alert....

King Damager · 7 Feb 2011 at 23:04

Ok, this is something I've just realised, and am actually quite interested to find the answer to this... Now, I realised that I managed to put the wrong postcode on an address for something that's coming from DPD tomorrow... Everything else about the address is right, except the postcode...

Best plan of action?

God has nothing to do with DPD. Satan's the man to talk to there

Seariously, OP, call them in the morning

King Damager · 7 Feb 2011 at 23:09

DPD or OCUK?

And number/opening hours?

xD

Jesus mate, what postcode did you type in? just seen your order in Amsterdam

King Damager · 7 Feb 2011 at 23:10

I've seen that picture before

About 20 times

How long did it take you to find that one?

But it was definitely a moment of epic fail panic. Then again, I can hardly not laugh at it myself... I would if it happened to someone else...

You should get it mate. All depends on if the Depot are familiar with postcodes and street names and the like. Im a postie and we very often get deliveries with the wrong info but if someone knows the street there is a good chance they will know the name.

You should be fine mate, the drivers go by road names anyway.

If for any reason he did go by the postcode (unlikely) he wouldn't find the right house and street anyway so would just take it back to the depot.

This would be fine if the postcodes were near to each other. However as the original postcode when it went through sorting was in Essex, and I'm currently in Norfolk, apparently they'll have to sort it out and get it rerouted. However I know this because I just spoke to a lovely guy at OCUK who got it all sorted out for me, and the parcel should be arriving tomorrow.

Just so people know as well, it does make a difference, as I realised when I checked the tracking this morning and it said it had arrived at Chelmsford when I wanted it to have arrived at Norwich through the sorting process xD

But yeah, issue is sorted
