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

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?

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.

LOL!! Now I hear they are going to stop Saturday deliveries.

We got a new neighbor last month -- reason I know is that we got their mail, and our other neighbor got ours, etc. Welcome to the neighborhood.
