cimfra	posted on December 14, 2000 12:20:38 PM When you look for the 4 digits ZIP code extension, the result adds things like: - Carrier Route - County - Delivery point - Check Digit Will printing the complete result, including the above information help or confuse the USPS system? I would appreciate if someone knows the answer. Thanks! Edited for spelling [ edited by cimfra on Dec 14, 2000 12:21 PM ]

gravid	posted on December 14, 2000 01:24:44 PM If you put your address into the form at this URL: http://www.cedar.buffalo.edu/adserv.html It will compare it to a data base of addresses and correct minor mistakes and add the 4 digits. It will also give you a GIF of the addresss to print that includes a bar code that USPS machinery reads and is in the format the USPS desires. Sometimes it cuts a day in delivery.

cimfra	posted on December 14, 2000 01:29:53 PM Thanks Zazzie! I have always used the extra four digits but I kinda hoped that I found an even better way to have my packages delivered faster... Well, better luck another time!

cdnbooks	posted on December 14, 2000 02:35:35 PM Wordperfect and, I think, MS Word also have the ability to print the bar code. My experience is that from Canada, it can save a considerable amount of time, 2 or 3 days, perhaps if you bar-code your letters and packages. The zip+4 numbers can be found on the USPS site Bill
