Hi David. We ship orders exactly to the address details entered at checkout. In this case, I would assume that the postcode you provided was incorrect, which resulted in the parcel being sent to the wrong location.  If you would like to email us at info@reptilesbypost.com we would love to help you with this. Thank you.
