What happens to mail with the right name zipcode street & state but wrong address number & city?

Question

What happens to mail when u have the right name, zipcode,street & state on it, but wrong address number & city?

Answer 1

Depends on who is sorting the mail and how big the city is.   I can put a name and zip code on a letter and it will reach my father, but that's in a town of 800.    The zip code is what is looked at to figure out where to send mail, not the state or city.

Answer 2

That depends on if you put a return address on it.

If it is going to a small town or a city.

The post office goes by the zip code, not the name of the city.

And if the postal carrier knows the name of the addressee it will get delivered.

other wise it will come back to the sender, or go into the dead letter pile.

Answer 3

If you mailed it, it will come back to you.
