One wrong letter in postcode- correct it or send as is?

A buyer of mine just paid and when checking the address on Royal Mail website (which I always do) it wasn't finding the street number, so I googled and it looks like the buyer has got the last letter in his postcode wrong.
My question is should I correct it myself and put the right postcode on the parcel, if I do would I still be covered by Paypal which has the address with the wrong postcode as "confirmed". It's a relatively high value item that will be sent Special Delivery.

Yes, definitely ask. To assume makes an @ss out of u and me. I wouldn't risk it, especially not with a high value item. Just double check it with them. I'm sure they will appreciate your attention to detail and if the error was on their end they should understand if it causes a slight delay.0

If the postcode doesn't exist. you won't be able to send it RMSD anyway.0
