do you know what your zip code + 4 is? just curious, as i don't see most people using it on correspondence, especially da bills. i've been including it as my return address for about 10 years, and sometimes i see a bill come in with the +4. i guess they are coming around slowly? does the mail get delivered any quicker since they've instituted the +4?

Nope.

I'm guessing it will end up being the Laserdisc of post office codes.

I think the +4 is your street number, not completely positive though. I should ask my friend's mom, she worked in the Hopatcong PO for years.

I was fully expecting you to say that I knew everyone's. I'm almost disappointed.

sparked my interest so i googled it and here is what i found

Extension of the five-digit ZIP code providing the U.S. Postal Service with even more precise destination information to facilitate mail handling. The nine-digit ZIP is based on a system of blockface grids. The first two digits of the added four digits are a sector; the last two digits are a segment within a sector.

The USPS intends the nine-digit ZIP to be used by business mailers, not by individuals, and offers a small discount for its use. Another benefit provided by the nine-digit ZIP is that it can serve as a basis for demographic and psychographic selections from mailing lists.

nope. not the block and lot number, either, or mine would be 1800. it is, in fact, 1716, and i can't figure how they came upon that number.

i'm guessing mail doesn't move any faster with the +4.
