Hi Rockmadman2007 :D

The Zip code you have posted is an example of the USPS's Zip+4 zip codes.

A ZIP + 4 code uses the basic five-digit code plus an additional four digits to identify a geographic segment within the five-digit delivery area, such as a city block, a group of apartments, an individual high-volume receiver of mail or any other unit that could use an extra identifier to aid in efficient mail sorting and delivery. (Taken from ZIP code).

You should have your requests addressed with the Zip+4 zip code wherever possible, as it helps the post office sort and narrow down the area where your request is delivered. If you don't have the extra 4 digits it's OK as your request should still arrive at its intended destination.

Oh yeah....one more question. Will it affect the letter being sent in any way if you leave the last 4 digits out?

that's ok. everyone feels stupid sometimes but you weren't stupid though.

by Rockmadman2007 » Sun Apr 15, 2007 8:43 pm

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!! That really helped. I feel kinda stupid since i didn't look it up before i asked. THANKS!

by BABii_ANG3L » Sun Apr 15, 2007 8:33 pm

oh. don't worry about that. you don't have to write the last 4 digits of it on the envelope. i believe it's just for where the mail would be sent to the post office or something.

this might help

I was wondering what it means when a zip code is like this...

Clint Eastwood
PO Box 4366
Carmel, CA 93921-4366 <----that one
USA

Why is it like that? What does it mean w/ two zip codes? Thanks
