Adding unnecessary address details can do more harm than good. Unnecessary address fields create more information to sift through, creating a larger surface area for mistakes to appear and occasionally can be misleading.

* \*\* County \*\*. Adding county information to an address does not make it easier to route. Royal Mail recommend against including county. Sometimes county information creates more confusion than clarity
* \*\* Village, borough, city or town name \*\*. As long as you've correctly specified the post town and/or postcode, these are unimportant details
* \*\* Country \*\*. Unless you are delivering internationally, Royal Mail actually recommend against including country

tip

Some addresses are just the organisation name, post town and postcode. So it is often a good idea to not remove this from the address during collection County names should very much be avoided to identify a premise
