What if I put the right address but wrong zip code?
If you get in touch with your local post office ask them what distribution center will be handling the package. Since the actual zip code is not too far off from the incorrect one it may end up a the same center. If so let USPS know that you will pick up there rather than send for home delivery.
How do I know what post office is mine?
Another option is to contact USPS directly to find out which office delivers your mail. The general phone number for USPS is 1-800-ASK-USPS. Alternatively, you can send an email to USPS, but you may have to wait up to three business days for a response.
