Will a letter with the wrong city but correct zip code and street address arrive at the correct destination?

Answer 1

The chances are slim because the letter will be sent to the zip code area first. When the post office cannot find the address in that zip code, they will simply send it back instead of trying to check all of the other zip codes for that address.

Answer 2

no it will not because different cities and different post codes also have the same street names as other cities and post codes, so if the city matches the post code, of the wrong destination it will arrive at the "correct destination" according to the postal company, but not where you want it to go.

Answer 3

I don't know if I wrote my return address correctly...
For example if I wrote 776-1 street name, instead of 1-766 street name or 776 street name apt.#1
Would it make any difference? I have the right address, city, province, and postal code, it's just that people write things differently and I'm worried that I may not get a letter that I have been expecting.
Thanks :)

Answer 4

I just did that. I sent it to 94133 instead of 94132. I called the post office of 94133 and told him about the box. The guy told me that they did not have any personnel to correct addresses anymore. He added that the box will be sent back to me after a couple weeks of going around.

Good Luck

Answer 5

Mail is read and sorted electronically, so it will be sent to the post office in the zip code it bears. From there if the address is recognized by a postal worker, it might be delivered.

Answer 6

Yes it should arrive in the same area( the zip code's area) usually street

Answer 7

normally but the worst they can do is send it back to you

Answer 8

Yes, USPS follows zip code, and then street address from that zip code when it arrives.
