England.

It arrived safely.

My Dad once sat next to an American on a plane and she told him she would send him a copy of her latest book. A few weeks later a parcel arrived from the USA addressed to Sir Barry (surname), Newcastle, England.

Your organisation needs to focus on the customers more, less on frippary. 😉

Judging by the number of envelopes I get at work with the address clearly written on the front, which are intended for people in widely dispersed parts of the country*, and which often arrive back a number of times after being returned to the sorting office along the road, I would have said it's irrelevant; it's a complete lottery as to the letter arriving at it's intended destination.
*Including one very large, bright pink envelope, addressed to someone in India, which was returned to my place of work seven times over the course of fourteen days.
