So a zip code is basically the legal requirements of how many zips on your clothing you must have at any given time?

Yep.
I always thought that, just didnt want to sound stupid asking such an obvious question. Thanks for clearing that up.

Hmm, they must be adding zip codes. There never used to be 00 zips now it seems there are two. So Portsmouth, NH is lowest
Puerto Rico Zip Codes have 00 from the start of the program

I’d be interested in buying a coffee table book about zip codes leaving it out so people think I’m well versed in obscure stuff/ interesting
WhenIGrowUpIWantToBeAMeme
Wait, but, google says that 03801
DavidBrooker
Fun fact: if you are Canadian, and are asked for a zip code (gas pump, ATM, etc), use the three numbers of your postal code plus 00.
Unoseby
Why do you even need a zipcode for gas pumps in the US?
Security, as they haven't widely adopted chip+PIN as Canada and Europe has.
WalkersNonsuchToffees
I added a 0 to my. 4-digit swiss postal code. Netflix now believes I'm american. Saves me about 5$ a month.
erischilde
This has left me wondering before. Bad websites that put Canada on form but won't submit without zipcode. Thank you!
BusinessOfCatsnakes
Why do they do this? Why does the gas station need to know where I live? (I'm Canadian and don't understand how the US works)
The US, unlike the rest of the Western world, has not adopted chip+PIN widely. The billing address is used as a work around for anti-fraud.
eg: lets say the billing address of your credit card is postal code M5J 1E3. US machines will accept 51300 as a valid zip code.
jakaii
o.O
Veolocity
Or just use 90210.
I used to do this for Pandora before they got a court order to actually check IPs. However, be careful, as if you're matching a credit 1/2
card and a zip code, often they check the billing address to catch fraud. So that can bounce, or even lock your account. 2/2
I guess I should've explained that I'm not from the USA.
Right. I am Canadian. Using an incorrect zip code that way, matched with a Canadian credit card, can trigger fraud detection on your card.
Cobaltios
Wait, the first 3 or the second set?
Numbers not letters postal codes are numbers and letters 6 total use numbers only plus 00 at the end is as how I understand this
That makes sense.
There are only three numbers in a Canadian postal code, so all of them. The format is A#A #A#.
Selerox
The UK uses an alphanumeric code that identifies an area down to a *handful* of properties. SW14 4DJ for example.
HairytheSheep
So do you still have to fully address an envelope?
In theory you could stick a house/flat number and a postcode and it'd get there. But it's better to use the full address, just in case >>
>> the postcode covers a tiny bit of two different streets (which is pretty unlikely, but possible). Some government departments you just >>
>> need the department name and a postcode. The DVLA (think US DMV) is just: DVLA, SA99 1BN. It'll get there.
