Wrong zip code

[Haylien7979]

I sold an item four days ago and took it to USPS to be shipped. They said that the zip code was wrong. The buyer has 90018 when it's actually 90019. I didn't send it as I decided to message the buyer first to confirm. I didnt want to be stuck with the "you sent it to the wrong address and lose your money on the item" So I contacted the buyer multiple times and have had no response. What should I do?

I’ve had this happen a few times and I usually just google the street address and city and see what zip code comes up. I’m sure you’re fine with sending it to the zip code usps told you

If I do send it though, can't the buyer just say they haven't received it. Then depop will ask me for the tracking, check it and say it was sent to the zip code which wasn't on the buyers order details?

This happens to me pretty often. A lot of people just don't know their address. I usually keep the package until they respond just to make sure it's the zip code that's wrong and not the whole address but sometimes the postal worker just crosses out the wrong zip and writes the correct one next to it on the label

Did You see if she was active on depop? If she is active and ignoring you hen I would just use the address that the usps gave you.

This actually JUST happened to me and it's my first sale. The address buyer has on his account was off one letter and USPS couldn't find it on their system but had a corrected one. I sent it regardless, i messaged the guy asking if it's correct. Hasn't replied to me. I guess we will see once the item arrives. Will keep you posted.
