    Why not use a local postcode that is recognised and then fill in the correct door and street.
    The driver will still deliver it to you even if postcode is wrong

    There is an option to leave a note for the driver in the DPD app.
    Tell the driver that postcode is incorrect and give them the correct postcode. (edited)

    I know... I'm one of them
    But when the postcode doesn't match the delivery street we put the address and house number in sat nav.

    I was going to suggest using a local address and then getting it delivered to your local shop for you to collect but they'll probably insist on address matching unless your acquainted with the shop.
    You can do this via DPD app.

    I just called them and they said their system didn't have the postcode yet and they can't add it manually so unless I send it to someone else they can't help

    Thanks everyone for your help (edited)

    I'm sure somebody will answer soon if not have a look on any of their phones posted on this site on the deals as people always mention the mi site being a pain when you get to the address part

    You have to type it in slowly, if you go too fast it doesn't work. Poor website that causes a lot of confusion!

    That didn't work either. Like I said it was only built September last year so probably doesn't recognize it

    My old address doesn't work on that site and hasn't for over 3 years. I emailed them about it asking to add it, took them a year to reply (seriously).

    Basically can't use it

    Try my method.
    It should work.

    This is probably worst postcode validator ever made.

    The only way for me to make it work was to enter in capitals with space, it fails on lowercase LOOOOOOL.
