Hello friends,

How can I find out the addresses in a Zip + 4 area?

Here's an example and how I hit a brick wall.

One bar code translates to 90025-54645 27, where according to the PO, "27" is the last 2 digits in the house number or PO Box (For example, PO Box 827 or 1527 Maple Ave).

I can find a map of 90025 but not for 90025-5645. Search for the Zip+4 turns up nothing. I have also entered various addresses ending in 27 in the area www.usps.com but still that Zip+4 does not come up. The only other alternate is entering every North-South street in that area which is quite a lot.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! If you email me, pls also post so that others can benefit as well

It's -=not=- a zip=4, but the delivery routing code.

The 54645 is a route and street or large complex, then the 27 is the
delivery point.

I doubt that there's a pulic seracher for the route.

A mass mailer should have the tools and adta for their area.

Thanks, I appreciate the info.

Looking at difference label (these came from a mailing house)... I notice that one street address does not match the barcode they printed on the label. If this were on a mailed piece, would the PO sort this piece to the route on the barcode? Or would it check the address and add a 2nd bar code?

No one answer, some PO's would send along and then return 'mis-addessed.
Some would correct and some carriers would correct.

Had a piece of mail with the return addy on the reverse, the PO sent it back
three times! Why?

The stamp, thus the tagging, was on the proper address side. address hd a
clear TO:, return had a clear FROM:

Just another example of poor or erratic service, I'd think.

I hear you. I see the same thing here. I just got a mailing piece back this week that was originally mailed in February. I contacted the addressee and the address, etc., was all correct.

Here's something interested.... a mailing piece sent from Los Angeles to an address through the Santa Clarita Area Distr Center takes 10 working days std rate mail. Everywhere else in the area it takes 3-5 days. Some go to the east coast which takes 9 days. This happens month after month - forcing us to use first class mail to some zip codes.

Yep !!!

A locally mailed letter, for local delivery from my hamlet of 300, goes to
the next 'city' PO [2200 population], then to a regional center [4600
population], then to Olympia, Washington for cancellation, then returns the
same route for delivery.

Typical time is 4-6 days.

The local PO is a one person operation with PO boxes, as there's NO street
delivery!

However, ALL Mail -=must=- go through the processing center to be 'counted'!

I'd be ROTFLMAO if it weren't so dadburned dumb!

We hand deliver much of our 'stuff' that's time sensitive!

Can't say much about that as the PO is only open 2 hours on Saturday anyway!

Some talk about MWF being full hours and TTS being 'reduced'. May be true as
they've now installed an outside posting box that the 'pick up' person from
the nearby 'town' can unlock and get outgoing.
