What is Postal Code?

What is Postal Code? A Postal code is simply a series of numbers or letters, sometimes containing punctuation or spaces, typically used to identify a particular mail item, and used in the process of sorting mail. For instance, when someone subscribes to a newspaper, the first and last name of the recipient are used, along with the City, State, and Country in which the recipient lives, and the Postmaster Address, which is where the mail is delivered. When you order something from an online retailer, the site will usually provide you with the number for that retailer's International Postage Rates. Knowing how much postage is applicable for your item can save you money on future mailings.




What is the Difference Between Postal Code and Zip Code? The difference between the two is actually a simple difference in the way they are used. Zip codes, as indicated above, are used to provide geographical information to individuals who want to locate a particular location. On the other hand, postal codes are used to identify a particular street or block in a city or metropolitan area. You can look up the Postmaster's address or find out the International Postage Rates for a particular location by using a zip code.


What is the Best Method to Look Up a Postal Code? The best method to find the International Postage Rates for a given location is to use the USPS's Find A Mail Box website. To look up a postal code, you need to enter the area code or zip code that you want to search. You will be directed to the appropriate page, where you can choose the country, state, or city in which you wish to receive mail deliveries. Once you click "Search", you will be able to see a list of the available postcodes. You can then chose the one closest to the area code that you entered.
