Did you know you can address an envelope with the person's name and zip+4 and most mailman will deliver it?

Question

I've been on my route for years so I know all the names. The zip+4 sorts the mail to the street and block. So this is a good trick to use if you don't want a casual correspondent to know your exact address.

Answer 1

good to know, i thought that most postal employees were, well postal.

thanks for the info.

Answer 2

a friend of mine wrote FREEPOST on all letters and they were delivered !!

Answer 3

Thanks for the tip!  I have often wondered if this could be done -- I do a lot of internet shopping and some of the sites request the zip plus 4 digit code before ever asking for my address.  Very interesting, indeed.

Answer 4

Thank you for the information.  I had no idea this could be done.
