Going Postal
So I’ve spent the past half hour trying to get through to the sorting office at Colchester to work out exactly where my new Amex card has gone, then I noticed something. The confirmation email has the wrong address! My address is along the lines of:
Number, Place
Street
Colchester
Postcode
They just had:
Number
Street
Colchester
Postcode
which is a completely different address (most annoying as this isn’t the first time people have decided to drop the place bit and deliver to the wrong address). Once I realised that I gave up, phoned Amex and asked for them to reissue the card and to send it via normal post (after all you need to activate the card when you get it so if its intercepted its useless) rather than special delivery. It will be with me within 7 days. It’ll be interesting to see if I get the (now canceled) card too 
strange that number+street has same postcode as number+place+street.
just unlucky
Hmm - I’m not sure if it is the same postcode actually. Still, its happened often enough that its going to be a problem.
