Hi-tech solutions
The ZIP code, when written out fully with all 13 digits, contains all the info necessary for one specific house or apt or office. I've wondered why the PO still requires name and address and city along with the ZIP. What would happen if you sent mail with only the 13-digit ZIP? For the first time I've seen a test of this question.
I ordered printer ink from LD Products as usual. The package arrived early this morning while I was out on my morning walk.
The labels from LD have lots of numbers and QR squares and UPC lines, but absolutely no name or address or city. The 9-digit ZIP appears once in readable form, but it's the ZIP for the branch post office, not the 9-digit for my block or the 13-digit for my house. Presumably the info is in the QR.
Somebody at the branch office wrote my address on a PostIt note and tacked it to the package!
So that's how they do it. High tech!
