What happens if I use a non-existent address? Will Royal Mail hold the parcel for collection, or let me pick it up from a collection point instead?

Let's say my address is 3 Something, London, Post code, United Kingdom but I give this address 333 Something, London, Postcode, United Kingdom (this house doesn't exist). What happens?
Also if I misspell my name like an extra u or o.

It's more likely it'll js get bounced back to sender if you mess up the address, the name tho might not change much if the address is correct
I've had mail come even w my name horribly misspelled cus the address was right

Surely they aren't going to send it back to China/Ukraine before trying to contact me?

Happened to me years ago and it just got sent back to the seller
You can arrange it to be picked up i think ? Like from the app

No they'd likely just ship it back on the basis of non existent address
