Forgot put shipping address on box... HELP!!

lgnngl — Tue, 15 Jul 2014 12:53:42 GMT

Okay so i just did something stupid..

I delivered my item to the post office to deliver.

HOWEVER, I realised that i forgot to write the shipping address or anything on the box.. What will happen?

The only thing i did was fill in who i am shipping to and their address/other info in the postage documents.

HELP

Worth quite a lot, I was in a rush since the post office was closing..

Well I did hand in postage documents filled with buyers shipping details along with the package? would that help at all?

How did they know what to charge you when there was no postal address?

I don't use click and send so I don't know how they could accept it.

Like i said, i paid for postage with click and send, so the documents require me to fill in the delivery address and etc.. So the billed me for the documents for me postage, and weighed my package..

the only problem is i forgot to put the delivery address onto the box... :((((

I suggest you go back to the PO.

They may well have pulled the parcel after realising it has no delivery address on it.

Gee you hope so, but maybe it goes to the distribution centre before checking.

Did you say it had the return address on it?

The box had nothing written on it but the documents lodged with the parcel had been completed so I'd be hoping like mad that somebody at the PO has written the relevant details on the box before it was collected and taken to the distribution centre. Regardless, I'd still be going back to the PO first thing this morning to make sure.

Thanks for the replies, well i checked with the PO and apparently it has been shipped..

I guess, I'm gonna have to hope for the best, and check if my customer has received his item anytime soon

As you processed the label through C&S there is an online verification of address, even though the label wasn't actually attached. Query - how did you get a lodgement receipt with no barcode to scan?

So, hopefully, you will get a scanning event which will then give you seller protection.

But my main issue is how you managed to post this item over the counter without an address label on it. After all, you have paid for the label and only need confirmation of weight, etc to verify valid postage cost. How did your PO manage to do that without the relevant label?

LOL< All the PO did was measure weight, scanned barcode on printer postage documents, and made me pay.. thats about it.

And then put the box down, and said i was good to go

Okay?

My PO would definitely require a barcode on an attached label before they would process a C&S. As they get buggerall for processing them.

Davewil, if you process via click and send and chose to pay at post office OR charged to AP credit account, you get a print out of items being consigned that includes a barcode, and these can be scanned at lodgement, rather than individual parcels.

True.

But I would probably notice at the scanning point that there was nothing to scan. Given that C&S only require a printed label and NO supporting documentation.

Yes, you may notice that.

But not all click and send parcels are processed as you process yours.

Not all scanning occurs in the same way yours are scanned.

C&S lodgement processes do not always require that a parcel has a label affixed to complete a scan of the consigned parcel label into the system.

Parcels can be handed over for lodgement (IMO probably more frequently with a large amount of parcels or one/several boxes full) with the consignment being calculated and scanned by AP from the documentation printed from C&S that accompanies the consignment, as they include the bar code.
