do HO change address on special delivery envelope

[destiniation_london]

Hello All,

I called up customer care this afternoon to find out the status of my application, they said some package has been dispatched this morning and they gave me a special delivery number. But, instead of sending it to my new apartment (5A) they have send it to my old apartment (5B).They say this is the address they have in their records for me.But, what is don't understand is i wrote my new apartment number(5A) on the special delivery envelope (which i enclosed with application), how can they overwrite it to my old apartment number.

Do you guys think, they might have done it thinking it could be mistake on my part to write wrong apartment number?

anyways, fingers crossed....eagerly waiting for the morning...anyone have any idea approximately by what time Special delivery are delivered????

The answer to the question is YES, HO do change the address the on the special delivery envelope. At least, they did it in my case. They overwrote my return address on the envelope with the one in their records. Actually, they had my old address in their records from my previous Work permit applications. So, they just overwrote my current address on special delivery envelope with my old address.

Fortunately, old address of mine is in the same building, so it wasn't much of a problem for me. But, a of advise for all the members who are awaiting for the results, please check whether HO have your current address in their records. Otherwise, it would unnecessarily increase your waiting time and hassle. You can verify your address with customer call executive when next time you call up to check up your status.

Hope this helps.
Thanks

Special Delivery (before 9AM) is delivered before 9 AM (Wow!!) . The "next day" one is delivered before 1:00 PM ( The ones that we receive in our office, are delivered around 11AM).

Thanks Push_HSMP, I have already received my package and with approval .....one thing i learnt was that HO changed the return address on the special delivery envelope with the one in their records. So, i just wanted to caution the members to check with HO if they have your current address in their records. By the way, i would certainly like to thank you for your valuable inputs and advise. Thanks a lot once again
