I will say that there is a 70% chance your label gets relabelled as when the DPD person scans the package, they can see the real destination address; so if they see the descrepancies, they'll relabel.

^ Exactly as written.

This Is one of countless reasons why the so-called FTID fails.

I agree FTID isn't as great as what people think it is and @mothered is right is has flaws but how it peoples address recorded onto the system is the barcode there to match the data or to record the data?
I was reading up on DPD and found something

Label specs

This PDF goes into great detail of the label DPD uses and mentions the data type and encoding of the 1D and 2D barcodes

I'm just not sure how this data is recorded to the DPD system as it mentions things like Rstreet, Rcountry maybe R being record but then mentions mpsexpdata which I don't fully understand what that is

It also mentions that DPD return labels need to have RELABEL in the routing box

More info on the relabel section mentions

"If the customer has not imported a current routing database for the new tertial but nevertheless would like to ship parcels, then a so-called Relabel-parcel label must be generated. This Relabel-parcel label does not contain an identification tag in the barcode, thus only 27 digits. This is the trigger for our Scansoftware to produce a new routing label with correct routing information. On the Relabel-parcel label no routing information may be printed. Instead the lettering "! RELABEL !" should appear. In addition the barcode should only be half as high as a normal barcode."
