Worked planning example
A Postcode Match Does Not Prove An Address Is Deliverable
Situation
A postcode can identify a locality while leaving the street, building, unit or delivery access unresolved. A country-level match is not a delivery confirmation.
What To Do
- Ask the receiver for country, city, postcode, street, building or unit and a reachable telephone number.
- Compare the postcode locality with the written city. If they differ, return the discrepancy to the receiver rather than guessing a correction.
- Separately describe appointments, access and unloading arrangements, and confirm these with the selected delivery service.
What To Check Afterwards
Keep the receiver-approved address version. The reference tool supports consistency checks; it does not validate street-level delivery or certify carrier coverage.
