10 minutes from me phoning them to them arriving. And the customer I was
working for moved into these premises on Monday. AA asked for a postcode etc
and all the new stationary at the firm has the wrong postcode:-)

So wrong postcode, no idea what road I was on as I had no map no sat nav
(not my van) and the AA still found me after the AA guy on the phone asked
"just give me old fashioned directions".

The wrong postcode, or a special postcode for large mail users that does not apply to the rest of the street?

If the former, then rubber stamps are cheap :-)

Imperial College has 3 postcodes - only one of which is the "official" one.

The other two do work - and may get you your delvery quicker

Ha. My aunt borrowed my mother's car some years ago (her's wouldn't
start) and on the way to work it started to rattle alarmingly (it was a
loose metal cover below the engine). She pulled up and called the AA.
The road she was on had been split into three sections, with the middle
section re-named and the two remaining sections with the same name being
on separate pages of the A to Z. It took the AA 5-1/2 hours to find her!

When I was there different departments had different postcodes and they
have other sites too, I think they have more than three postcodes.

Not aware of there being more than 3.

One was the 180 Queensgate entrance (Huxley)

One was the Prince Consort Road entrance (Physics)

The other was the Exhibition Road entrance which I *think* was the official
one (as in "goes via the Post Room").

It's possible that there may be another for Imperial College Road (internal
private road) seeing as that's where the post office building is.

Local paper has the postcode of it's box office number displayed on
their site. They do mention it if you look for directions info though
and give you the right one.

I suppose that RM still offer the service to large businesses where
they pre-sort departmental mail by allocating a different post code to
each one. It's a long time (20 years + probably) since I read about so
I can't remember what the service was called.

Pre-sorted Delivery and/or Selectapost, depending on volume and sorting criteria.
