Hey sorry for the basic question but I just purchased something online and forgot to add the county and only put the house number. Street name, area name and postcode
All they need is the house number and the postcode right ?
I’ve emailed the company hoping they can rectify this
In most cases, yes. Some houses do share the same number and postcode, with the only difference between street name. Country usually (definitely if it’s a U.K. based company) doesn’t matter so long as the rest of your address is correct.
As someone who has also made this mistake a few times, you’d be surprised. I’m not sure if the issue is automation, or if people just don’t check, but I had an item dispatched once where the only field I had filled in was the street name. No house number or postcode. I noticed my error immediately and emailed but they didn’t realise until after it had been posted.
You don’t need to cross them, there is nothing to worry about. Even if it was a mandatory field and you put the wrong county, it would still get to you from the postcode and door number.
