the plus 4 zip code question when mailing?

Question

Well I ordered something that is going to come by a mailing service (like a letter), not a package service if you get what I mean (usps instead of ups). But who knows could end up being FedEx or UPS. But when I was giving my address I had to give the plus 4 zip code along with my zip code. So the whole 9 digits. What I did was I just looked on a few Amazon packages I got before. Surprisingly every single box has a plus 4 zipcode for the apartments 500-520 or something like that, but im 201. Saw this when i looked at all of my letter mail from my mailbox. The wrong plus 4 is still for the same apartment complex thankfully. Am I stressing over nothing?

Answer 1

All is fine. USPS will surely find the correct address. Not sure why the website you ordered from wanted the +4 zip code. (I have no idea what mine is, although, like you, I could look at some letters to find out what it is.)



No worries :)



(The +4 zip code doesn't have anything to do with specific apartment numbers within a specific building. It's more of a locator for a specific area within a given larger zip code prefix. My +4 is 2053, which has no relevance to my apartment number of 604.)

yes i think it does get through the mail faster. U are giving the postal workers all they need to get your mail there so i would think that is a big help in getting it out of the post office.
