> ZIP Code
>
> The ZIP Code is extremely important in the processing and delivery of
>-->mail. While use of the ZIP Code is voluntary, we urge you to include
> it in your return address and the mailing address. Complete ZIP Code
> directories are available for sale at your local post office. For
> individual ZIP Codes, contact your local post office or check out our
> on-line lookup.
>
> ZIP+4
>
> In 1983, the Postal Service began use of an expanded ZIP Code called
> ZIP+4. It is composed of the original five-digit code plus a
>-->four-digit add-on. Use of the four-digit add-on number is voluntary.
> However, this add-on number helps the Postal Service direct mail
> efficiently and accurately. Even if you prefer not to use your
> four-digit add-on number, using the correct five-digit ZIP Code helps
> prevent delays.
