[I'm an idiot] what happens if a zip code is a few digits off

Ive been doing this a while, and yes I fucked up here, but what will happen to a small pack sent with the correct addy but the last number is like 2 digits off (same city, but def wrong zip code)?

I'm hoping this just means a few days delay. Anyone with experience care to weigh in?

It'll usually get corrected by usps

Speaking as someone who sorts packages for a living, probably nothing. 99% chance ur all good bro E: we really only need the first three numbers to be right anyways so you're 1000% fine

They will forward it to Belize for you because they know that's where you'll be.

usually it will be corrected, these problems are super common in the postal service

Goes into pit of snakes with all other incorrect mail. You can get it but only if you pass the trial of the snakes.

I won't bore you with stories, but most times you can get away with pretty serious fuck-ups! I have had stuff shipped to and from me with crazy addresses, and it always made it! The postmen are VERY eager to make it happen, real pros. If everything is right but the zip slighly off, you should be golden.

nothing. post will sort it out

Well if the ZIP code is an actual zip code then it'll go there first one of those recognized the mistake and correct it and have it shipped to you


[1 Points] ice_cream4breakfast:

It may get return to sender as "can not delivered as addressed"

It all depends if you have a lazy/cool post officer worker that finds it

"Few digits off" what were you high? A zip code is 6 numbers and you got a "few" numbers off?
