The address is: Santa SAN TA1 The Royal Mail has come up with some tips on sending your mail for Christmas. Advice Posting early obviously reduces the strain on the mail, customers are also being asked to make sure they use the right service for whatever they are sending. It says valuables should only be sent using Special Delivery, and always make sure the postcode is correct and printed in capital letters. When sending packages, ensure you include your address so the item can be returned if necessary. Certain items cannot be sent abroad, for example, sending alcohol to Canada is not allowed, and always make sure you weigh your parcel so you pay enough postage to cover delivery. You can also check a postcode by visiting the Royal Mail’s website from the link above.
